Our state's poorest.Last spring, Livingston Philanthropies achieved 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation status. Along with myriad donated items, we began accepting monetary contributions. LPI announced its first-ever fundraising initiative at the beginning of September, 2018. COMPLETING LPI Season 11 As the pandemic just won't go away, Livingston Philanthropies, Inc. (LPI) is happy to announce the commencement of our Season 11. LPI completely reinvented to accommodate ever-expanding needs during the continuing health emergency. An affiiate of Livingston's Healthy Community Healthy Youth (HC/HY) initiative and with the key contribution of stalwart partner since the beginning of our journey, Livingston's West Essex Tribune, LPI's mission continues to be "providing for the homeless, profoundly poor, and disenfranchised." This population is New Jersey's poorest, living way below the poverty line. 0 0 Livingston neighbors provided the funding for winter beanies, insulated gloves, shoes and work boots required for their new positions and new winter jackets in sizes 2XL and 3XL for larger clients who do not own winter gear.Livingston's generous contributions funded this week's Livingston Philanthropies (LPI) delivery to the New Jersey Reentry Corporation (NJRC), the state's premiere prisoner re-entry organization. 0 0 This week, Jeff Friedman of Livingston, founder and director of Livingston Philanthropies, Inc. (LPI), has announced that a local law firm has made a donation to assist the Livingston-based charity's "Personal Shopping for the Homeless" initiative.LPI, which prior to the pandemic collected coats, clothing, toiletries and other items for the homeless in Essex County, is currently focusing on "Personal Shopping for the Homeless," encouraging donors to purchase new items for the homeless or offer monetary donations to enable the non-profit organization's volunteers to do so.Mandelbaum Salsburg PC., a national law firm with headquarters in Roseland, recently gave the initiative a boost with a major contribution to LPI.Chief executive officer William Barrett said, "We are honored to support Livingston Philanthropies and applaud Jeff and his team for the help they provide to our neighbors in need. With our very own roots in Newark, it's a pleasure to work with local charities that give back to the communities in which we live and work."Brian Block is chairman of Mandelbaum Salsburgs's Charity Committee. He has become quite familiar with LPI's charitable initiatives through articles in the West Essex Tribune and was instrumental in arranging the donation. "We have also begun our collection drive for new coats, hats, diapers, etc. and will bring it all to you at the end of the month," commented Block.Taryn Dowling, marketing manager at the law firm who handled the arrangements, also recognized LPI's assistance to Essex County's poorest communities; "Thanks so much for coming out today," she said. "It's wonderful knowing how helpful this money will be, and we hope to have lots of items for you at the end of the month."Mandelbaum Salsburg's contribution, which will be immediately utilized to provide for the "homeless, profoundly poor and disenfranchised," in keeping with LPI's mission, is "emblematic of how businesses, charitable organizations, service clubs, religious entities and individual families can make a difference right now," said Friedman.He continued, "Currently we are badly in need of items vital to everyday existence, including diapers, warm coats, winter accessories, baby formula (Enfamil only, please) jarred baby food and more, which can be dropped at LPI 'World Headquarters' (my garage) or shipped to me or our trusted distribution partners directly."Friedman concluded, "It's easy to shop for those who need absolutely everything one can imagine and then some. It's fun, too. For those who are more comfortable empowering LPI volunteers to do the personal shopping for them, monetary donations may be mailed to LPI, P.O. Box 247, Livingston, NJ 07039 or handled instantly at paypal.me/lpinj." 0 0 KAREN FRIEDMAN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0 0 0 JEFF FRIEDMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 0 0 0 ALAN KARPAS BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0 0 0 MARTHA ACKERMANN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0 0 0 WALTER LEVINE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NJ ALAN KARPAS 2 CLEMENTS COURT ROSELAND NJ 07068 9734779989 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 22597 20035 48269 38551 40944 170396 22597 20035 48269 38551 40944 170396 0 0 0 170396 22597 20035 48269 38551 40944 170396 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 - Other Expenses Description: ADVERTISING.
