West Side Connect
The goal of West Side Connect is to bridge the gap between Historic West End residents and available resources, fostering an engaged, inclusive, and equitable community. Many residents face challenges accessing vital services and information. By creating a comprehensive resource guide (print and digital) and organizing a community fair, the initiative aims to enhance awareness of local non-profits and services, empowering residents to access these resources more easily. This project will increase accessibility, strengthen the community, and promote active civic engagement and upward mobility.
