The Island Civic Association is partnering with With Neighbors to give residents of The Island funds to host simple, low-lift gatherings that bring neighbors together with food. You could host coffee & donuts on the street corner, a pizza party on your porch, or cook a favorite meal to share dinner with others.
There are amazing people living on your block. This is your excuse to meet them or get to know them better! Building community doesn’t have to be complicated, and we are all better off when we are connected.
