As an organization, we’ve committed ourselves to ending loneliness by advocating for a Neighboring Movement that has an exponential life. As we have reflected on our work we have identified 3 strategic steps:
- Discover: Everyday we meet amazing people who are using neighboring to influence the world in positive ways. Through networking and research, we are learning the best principles that define the Movement.
- Experiment: Our work is rooted in the SoCe Neighborhood of Wichita KS. This is our learning lab and we believe staying deeply committed to our actual neighbors gives our work integrity.
- Share: We are developing educational tools that can increase neighboring and provide a sustainable income for our organization. This work has already begun and has shown early promise for hitting our goals.
Here is how you can help. Dec. 4-8 we will use Facebook Live to host an online fundraising campaign. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to combat loneliness! You can contribute by making a donation in advance; send your gift to 417 E. Gilbert, Wichita, KS 67211 or make a donation online at neighboringmovement.org/donate. Your advanced giving will help us set the tone for the live campaign and we appreciate your effort to help us hit our goal.
If you’d like to have a further conversation about how to contribute to the Neighboring Movement contact me at adam@neighboringmovement.org or give me a call at 316-285-7799.
Thanks again for helping us end loneliness by being good neighbors!
