  • Thank you for asking! There are MANY things you can do to help in our neighborhood:
    1. Stay healthy -- This is the single best way you can help!
    2. Keep your family healthy -- Practice good hand hygiene, cancel that cruise to Italy, and have a nice family dinner at home
    3. Check with your neighbors -- Call or text them and see if they need a cup of sugar or a roll of TP
    4. Help us help the neighborhood -
       - VOLUNTEER to pick up, deliver, or donate supplies to neighbors in need
       - STAYING HOME? Our Readiness and Marketing/Communications Committees would love to have your assistance in keeping LFH informed and coordinating our neighborhood response. You don't even have to leave your dining room or change out of your PJs!
    5. Monetary donations -- If you'd like to donate directly to LFHNA, we will gladly use your contributions to help our neighbors in need and prepare our neighborhood for future emergencies. We are a 501(c)(3) and will be happy to provide a receipt for tax purposes.
