Practice
Practices that encourage knowing and loving your neighbors and neighborhood.
Lending Tools
The text message from my neighbor came the weekend after he and his family moved out. “Can I borrow your mower tomorrow? If not. That’s ok.” He needed to mow his yard before the new family moved in and had already moved all the tools from his garage. “Absolutely. I’ll have the battery charged.” I replied. It was a punctuation mark on two years of lending tools to each other while he lived on our street.
Honoring The Legacy
By walking hand in hand with the past, may we all journey forward together, writing new chapters into the richness of our shared history.
Extreme Community Makeover
The ECM model is “adopt-a-block.” Volunteers knock on doors ahead of work days to connect with neighbors. They ask about any external home improvement projects that could be done by volunteers.
