Neighbor 2 Neighbor Shoot - 2017-11-04

Neighbor to Neighbor shoot

Homeless Prevention Initiative (HPI) went out of business in 2016 and Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) took over helping their clients They help families that are close to becoming homeless, but they have homes now. Many of these families don't have money for a family portrait, and some have never had a family portrait before. N2N contacts their clients and arranges for them to come to out photoshoot if they would like a family portrait. Our club, FCDCC, takes pictures of the families, processes the pictures, prints them (WHCC), frames an 8"x10". N2N will deliver them to the families before Christmas.

Each family will get a package

- 1 framed 8"x10"
