Support Your Local Artists

Times are tough right now, and nobody is doing well. One group in particular that is struggling is our local artists. Since concerts, plays, and other creative forms of entertainment can’t happen right now, our local artists can’t do what they’re passionate about. A great way to show our appreciation for our local artists is to support their work. #SupportYourLocalArtists

Do’s and Don’ts

With businesses in California slowly beginning to open back up, it’s important to know the do’s and don’ts of being around other people. This may seem like a banal topic right now, but it’s always good to make sure you’re up to date on safety advice during this pandemic. Plus, if you plan on attending any small gatherings, you’re going to need to know this stuff. So, sit back, relax, and read on to view a list of helpful reminders on how to handle yourself in public. You’ll thank us later. Or maybe you won’t, but we won’t hold that against you.

We Are Here to Help!

The Bay Area is our home; it’s where NPU was founded, and because of the support of companies,
organizations, neighbors, and friends like you, we have grown into the company we are
today.

We want to show our gratitude and our
appreciation to our amazing community. We are actively re-focusing our resources
and efforts to do our part in flattening the curve of
COVID-19.

We are making all of NPU’s resources
available for emergency management hubs, shelter in place locations, and the much needed support to safely operate these activities.

We’ve partnered with so many local business
leaders to create SJ SHIP Kits out of The San Jose Armory, providing care packages to tens of thousands of people in need.

It is our goal to utilize all of our spaces and
all of our resources in similar ways.

If there’re any programs or organizations in
need of space to support the millions of people affected by COVID-19, we are here to help, because here, at NPU, community is always
at the center of what we do.
