Why partner with National Neighborhood Day?
National Neighborhood Day is a perfect program for your faith community!
Faith groups are always looking for a simple and powerful way to build up their own community and reach out to others. National Neighborhood Day is a fun, easy, family-friendly celebration that religious organizations can host in their own buildings and encourage their members to host in their own neighborhoods. NND is flexible enough for it to be tailored by and for each community. Some organizations might host a potluck dinner or ice cream social for their neighborhoods, others may invite the neighbors around the church building to join together in a community service project, such as planting trees or cleaning up the neighborhood, and still others may host a simple meet and greet event. NND was established as an annual day to recognize, reinforce, and celebrate the relationships that are the fabric of our communities.
In addition, NND:
- builds connections in your community
- increases feelings of safety
- is an opportunity for you to get to know your wider network of neighbors
- can help your organization gain visibility and recognition in your community
