Check in with a neighbor or community organization that you think could use a hand and ask them what would be helpful. Then listen, and construct your project out of what they say, and the permission they give.

Invite the people you spend your life with to join you: family members, neighbors, friends from school or work. Working together is a great way to deepen relationship, and as the saying goes, “many hands make light work.”

The I Love My City Team will be collecting information and stories from newlifers leaning in to share the love all over Kitsap. They’re also available to answer any questions you might have.
