From the Mayor’s office:
Attached is a flyer for the “Make the Homeless Count Sock Drive” taking place from February 14th to March 14th.  Many of the homeless in our communities lack basic necessities including socks.  The City of Los Angeles will organize events on Tuesday, March 30th to support the U.S. Census Bureau’s Homeless Enumeration program in order to boost the homeless count and deliver socks, food, and other much-needed items.

Download the flyer here: Sock Drive Flyer

Please pass this information on to your family, friends, colleagues, and contacts within the community so that we can ensure that EVERYONE gets counted in the 2010 Census!  Thanks!

Councilman Wesson’s office via our friends at Mid-City NC shared the following information with us…

Not just for low income. Not unhealthy.  You can order a box for you and  your family or if you are not struggling, you can also donate a box.  It  was on the news - watch the clip on their home page.

Treasure Box is a company that helps families/individuals stretch their  money during these tough economic times by offering a prepackaged box of  groceries.  You pay $30 for approximately $100 worth of food!

Each box contains 21-25 pounds of high quality, frozen foods including  chicken, pork, beef or seafood, in addition to vegetables, fruit, a side  dish and a dessert. From my understanding, the menu items change monthly.

While some of you may not be struggling or interested in this option,  there are tons of families that are, so please pass the information on,  as you never know someone else’s circumstances.

ORDER VIA WEBLINK HERE:

From KNX News…

LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― Los Angeles County Thursday released a new EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM.

Residents and businesses can now go online to register cell phones and e-mail addresses with the county so officials can send critical information instantly in the event of an emergency.

Land line phones are already being plugged in to the system.

LA County has implemented a system to notify people about emergencies in their neighborhood, or that effect the county generally. It will call your home telephone to provide information. It is already loaded with listed and unlisted numbers for normal telephone company phone lines (”land lines”).

But - if you want to be notified on your cell phone, or VOIP (voice over IP) telephone (for example, if you use Vonage, or your cable company’s telephone service), and, in particular, if you use these INSTEAD of a “land line,” then you need to register these alternative numbers. The web site to do this is:

http://www.alert.lacounty.gov/

Interestingly, the LA Times article about this says “The *city* of Los Angeles already has an emergency notification system for residents living in fire-prone, red-flag areas, but city officials will be able to access the county-wide system too.”
