Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024 Community Meeting at New Community Church (100 Middle Avenue in Menlo Park)

This meeting will take place in a different location than our traditional location at the Trinity Church Campus. This time, we will meet at 9 a.m. at the New Community Church, Fireside Room. The location is at 100 Middle Avenue in Menlo Park. The meeting will focus on distributing the stocked duffle bags to those in the initial Neighborhood Gathering Place Pilot Program. The duffle bags contain curated supplies that a Block Coordinator, or equivalent (AKA neighborhood leader) could apply for. The purpose is to help a Block Coordinator to set up a Neighborhood Gathering Place in a a post disaster situation and then use the items to help neighbors safely check on neighbors and to provide mutual aid, safely, for the first hours. We will distribute the “Bags” to those who can attend and also provide an overview to what’s inside and how to use the contents. We will also collect input into our Pilot Program.

If you would have an interest in possibly applying for a “Duffle Bag” in the future, please feel free to join us. This meeting will be an interactive and informal one.
