We believe:

In community, we have everything we need.

We’re on a mission to help neighborhoods become self-sufficient. So we:

1) Organize neighbors into teams of 5-7 to support one another like family.

2) Link those teams together to build the neighborhood they want.

We call these 5-7 person groups “Neighbor Teams” and they:

  • Meet every 1-2 weeks on zoom

  • Share resources and show up for one another

  • Build a culture of mutual support using the GatherFor workbook

  • Pool funds to invest in one Neighbor each month (with up to a $500 match from GatherFor)

  • Hold in-person get-togethers once a month with $300 from GatherFor

Every month, we invite all Neighbor Teams to a Town Hall to:

  • Share learnings

  • Make decisions about the future of GatherFor in the neighborhood

  • Get to know the broader community

  • Build a “neighborhood safety net”
