Leslie Knope wants to let you in on a secret… On April 30, #<\/span>ParksAndRec<\/span><\/a> is returning to NBC for “A Parks and Recreation Special”. Our workplace proximity associates, along with our neighbors at @<\/span>StateFarm<\/span><\/a>, are raising money for @<\/span>FeedingAmerica<\/span><\/a>. Join us! http:\/\/www.<\/span>FeedingAmerica.org\/ParksandRec <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe, Jim O’Heir, and Retta are all set to appear as their original characters, and “several guest stars from the Pawnee universe may pop in,” says NBC. The special will be “all shot from our homes,” Poehler said in a promotional video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Like a lot of other people, we were looking for ways to help and felt that bringing these characters back for a night could raise some money,” said executive producer Michael Schur in a statement. “I sent a hopeful email to the cast and they all got back to me within 45 minutes. Our old ‘Parks and Rec<\/em>’ team has put together one more 30-minute slice of (quarantined) Pawnee life and we hope everyone enjoys it. And donates!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
