About

Identifying the local faith community as an asset in the Park Avenue neighborhood, inCOMMON has led the way in the formation of Neighbors United, a neighborhood collaboration composed of 12 interfaith communities working to together to relationally respond in service to the needs and hopes of local neighbors.
Neighbors United hosts a weekly community meal in the Park Avenue neighborhood. The purpose of this community meal is to build relationships among local residents and other community members, as well as to address food insecurity issues faced by many local area residents.
