Dear Highland Park Neighbors:
We are wrapping up 2020. This year has taken many difficult turns, but what keeps my hope alive are the signs of community around our neighborhood that we have witnessed this year. From seeing groups rally to get food out to community members to the large Black Lives Matter March along the boulevards, these signs and more have made me so grateful to be a part of this beautiful community and serve on your board. This season of holidays may be the hardest one yet for our neighborhood members, myself included. As we enter into this particularly challenging season, let us extend grace, kindness, and a friendly hello through our masks as we pass one another, shop for our groceries, or wherever you may encounter a fellow Angeleno. Our Neighborhood Council board is here for you as well.
Our board worked this past month to get food and supplies to our community. We partnered with CD1, CD14, the Arroyo Seco NC, and Foursquare Church to put food and PPE in the hands of people from our communities. Thanks to the joint effort between the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council and the Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council, we were able to give out 700 meals and about 200 boxes of food from the LA Regional Food Bank. Just days later, we secured turkeys for 50 families from Highland Park donated by CD14. Our board is working to continue to meet community needs through food distribution and other means during these critical times. We encourage those non-profit organizations in the community with ideas and capacity for meeting needs in the community to apply to a Neighborhood Purpose Grant.

In addition to the many holidays starting up soon, December is significant for World AIDS Day on December 1. Let us remember this December 1st those who live with HIV, those who have lost their lives to HIV, and those who support people living with HIV. Ending the HIV epidemic requires us to recognize and address the social challenges that block marginalized groups from equally accessing services. See the graphic below noting the Virtual Event sponsored by The Wall Las Memorias Project. This reality affirms our need to address social challenges as an NC.
Neighborhood Council Elections for the 2021-2023 term are starting up. The date to file for candidacy is December 12 and goes until January 26. We encourage you to join a candidate info session (see info below) to learn more about what it means to be a candidate with the NC and to also check out our elections page to learn more.
With the year coming to an end, we thank you for being involved with the Neighborhood whether through sharing our newsletter and social media posts with others or participating in our Neighborhood Council meetings and events. We miss seeing you in person, but we are adapting with what we have and are just a phone call, email, or meeting away. Enjoy the newsletter and share what inspires you.
Warmest regards,
Estrella Sainburg
Your HHPNC President
