Our mission is to support a dedicated network of Block Leaders who will work together to connect their neighbors in friendship.

Modern life has made it more challenging to love our neighbors well. It’s no longer common for us to have close neighbor relationships because so many of us live busy, hurried lives.

We use social media to keep up with people who live hundreds of miles away, but sadly many of us haven't spoken to our next door neighbors in months.

It seems that the more we advance ourselves technologically, the more disconnected and divided our communities have become.

What can we do to overcome the problems of isolation, disconnection, and division among neighbors?

We can dedicate ourselves to intentionally build a caring community among our neighbors!

All across Austin there are people who want to bring their neighbors together, but they don’t know where to start. Community Renewal Austin offers a pathway for you to create a caring community on your street!

You can make our city a happier and safer place to live by turning strangers into friends where you live. Imagine the joy that comes from joining with other neighbors to host neighbor gatherings, reach out to individual neighbors in need, and connect your neighbors through shared contact information.

Our mission is to support a dedicated network of Block Leaders who will work together to connect their neighbors in caring friendship.

Renewing our community one caring neighbor at a time,

Allison Finch
