Neighbors
Building connection, belonging, and care - one street, one person at a time.
Some of the best things in life happen just outside your front door - a conversation across the fence, a wave from the porch, the comfort of knowing someone nearby has your back. The Neighbors group is built on the belief that a strong village is made one block at a time, one person at a time.
This is the group that makes sure no one on your street feels invisible - and no one who walks through our doors feels like a stranger. We welcome newcomers, celebrate good neighbors, and create the kind of warmth that turns a place you live into a place that feels like home.

Meet Marie Aungst, New Member Coordinator
My name is Marie Aungst. I have lived in Kenmore for 19 years and enjoy biking and walking through the village. Walking throughout the neighborhoods, you can just feel the warmth of the village, there is so much beauty here. I'm enjoy meeting new members and happy to help welcome new volunteers to the KVIS. |
