Livingston Philanthropies, Inc. (LPI) founder and CEO Jeff Friedman has announced that the charitable organization has begun its 13th season of giving. “We started in 2011 as a little coat drive,” said Friedman. “Now, through the generosity of Livingston residents and LPI volunteers, we have grown into so much more to serve the homeless and families living below the poverty line.”
However, Friedman said, LPI’s growth has created a storage problem. “As a happy operational by-product, I have not had use of my single-car garage for 12 years,” he noted. “It’s my ‘LPI World Headquarters.’ Starting with the current philanthropic season, I am reaching out for single garage space. Can a reader help? Please contact me at 973-533-9336 or [email protected] if you can assist.”
Friedman also offered his “heartfelt gratitude to our myriad donors over the years. Who knew that LPI would evolve in this fashion, receiving and purchasing a variety of basic, life existence products to provide for those who find them financially unattainable? Livingston is one heck of a generous community! Thanks, folks.
