WHY JOIN?
Social connection increases happiness and is associated with better health and a longer life. To combat the negative mental and physical health effects of social isolation, the Village creates opportunities for you to connect with your neighbors. We do this by organizing regular social, wellness and educational programs in the neighborhood (and virtually). You'll be surprised how quickly you begin to build friendships (or reconnect) with neighbors of all ages, races and cultural backgrounds.
By building relationships with your neighbors, you're not only improving individual and community health but you are also building a network of support. The Village will support you through challenging times or with things you simply cannot do, or don't want to do, alone. Members help each other with things like, yard work, technology troubles, warm meals, grocery deliveries, household chores and repairs, and soon, rides to medical appointments. No one should feel guilty or ashamed for asking for help.
Village members say the best part about being a member is the convenience of having friends, and a safety net, within walking distance.
