I went to my first gathering today and met some really lovely people. I will be at future meetings as well. It was friendly, interesting, low pressure and welcoming. It was fun to see how much we had in common. I'm new to Minden and was hoping for a group like this.” ~ Deb S

Host Stories

“I started by connecting with one of my neighbors when she moved in. I wasn't sure if it was going to work out. We have become walking buddies and now have added several other ladies to our little neighborhood posse.”
Lori W
“I prefer to have my home as a get away from the world. And, I know people can benefit from connection, so my roommate and I hosted a bbq in our complex in order to get to know each other as neighbors. We are so glad we did. It was rad! And now the neighbors want to do a potluck next time."
Tyler M
“I hosted two of our neighborhood get togethers and now another family wants to host a 4th of July Potluck. We are really starting to build relationships in our neighborhood!”

About Us

We are currently facing a “LONELINESS EPIDEMIC”.

Together, we can do something about it!

We are building community one “Porch” at a time. Inspiring individuals and groups to create Porch Environments all across their community, in their neighborhoods, for the purpose of authentically connecting with others. Intentionally holding space for one another, and lending a genuine helping hand as needed. We are stronger together. As we partner with people like YOU, we can restore safe, caring, and strong neighborhoods, which will transform the way we do life with one another.

Take a deeper dive... Here!
