When:Wednesday, September 1 -

The American Red Cross is working with its partners in the global Red Cross and Red Crescent network, including the Pakistan Red Crescent Society, to assist those affected by this disaster.

Your gift to the American Red Cross will support emergency relief efforts to help those affected by this disaster. Assistance provided by the American Red Cross may include sending relief supplies, mobilizing relief workers and providing financial resources. On those rare occasions when donations exceed American Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster, contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other disasters.

NetIP STL is joining hands with KETC-Channel 9 on KETC’s project entitled Homeland.
Homeland explores the role of immigration in our society and the common bonds of all people. With Homeland KETC hopes to shine a light on the complexity of issues faced both by immigrants and those who are already living here. They are exploring how immigrants are changing the makeup of the region and what this means for creating a new sense of community and country.
To accomplish this work, KETC is enlisting NetIP STL members who would be willing to use Flip video cameras to discuss some of the resonant themes identified surrounding the topic of immigration in Missouri.
They will check out a camera to you, provide you training, and discuss possible questions/topics for you to address on-camera.

We have been asked to paint, clean, and decorate one of the 20 rooms at Gateway Homeless Services, which is a homeless shelter that provides a safe, secure, nurturing emergency shelter to homeless women, children, and families in need. Their goal is to re-house individuals as quickly as possible, so they can get back on their feet. We will be responsible for making one of the rooms feel warm and welcoming by:

-Cleaning the room
-Painting the room with bright colors
-Decorating the room by putting new linens on the bed, hanging drapes, hanging pictures, etc.

Also, if you have items such as picture frames, trinkets, baskets, etc. sitting around your house that you would like to donate, the shelter is happy to take them to use for room decor. Please bring these items with you the day of the project!

Lunch: Will be provided after the project by NETIP

Please email Reena at rhajat@dapstl.org to let us know if you will be joining us for this project.
