The deal

What you give, and what you get.

What you commit to

One intentional act of kindness, at least three times a year.

Choose one thing you're good at and use it to make a neighbor's life a little better. A plumber fixes something for an elderly neighbor. A tutor opens homework help hours. A small committee matches each nomination to the member whose craft fits best.

Giving a little of what we're good at.

What members get

  • A listing in the directory, with how you give back, so neighbors see both.
  • Your turn in a business story, shared here and in the neighborhood Facebook group.
  • A place in six moments through the year, starting with the launch at the Lawson Fall Fest on 1 November.
  • More neighbors who know what you do, and remember you when they need you.
  • A group of business owners who work together and send each other work.

How joining works

The group reviews every application.
