The neighborhood was nominated for the work of Feed Hope, which is one <br />of the outcomes of Harlow’s Strategic <br />Neighborhood Assessment and Planning (SNAP) <br />project supported by the City of Eugene’s <br />Neighborhood Services. As 2013 NUSA <br />Neighborhood of the Year, Harlow receives a <br />check for $1,400 to support neighborhood <br />activities. Congratulations to Jennifer Yeh, chair <br />of Harlow Neighbors, and Aaron Box, pastor of <br />North Park Community Church and a member of <br />the Harlow Neighbors Board, and all the other <br />neighbors and partners who participated. <br /> <br />Feed Hope, a joint project between the <br />neighborhood association, area churches, Bertha <br />Holt Elementary School and Food for Lane <br />County, served the needs of many elementary <br />school children who, although qualified to receive <br />free or subsidized breakfast and lunches during <br />the school year, had limited access to healthy daytime meals during school breaks. With over 300 volunteers, Feed Hope <br />coordinated donations, and packaged and distributed 4,500 healthy, nutritious meals to children in the Harlow <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />The Santa Clara/ River Road Outreach and Learning (SCROLL) project received second place in the Multi-Neighborhood <br />Partnership Projects category. The SCROLL project was led by members of the Santa Clara and River Road community <br />organizations and supported by Neighborhood Services through the SNAP process. SCROLL engaged neighborhoods in <br />community conversations about the challenges of governance and service delivery amidst a mosaic of City- and County- <br />owned property. SCROLL has helped identify community priorities and provided a strong foundation for future work <br />around the issue of annexation. Congratulations to Jerry Finigan and the SCROLL team for this recognition. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />June 6, 2013 <br />
