Accomplishments

We have connected 30 neighborhoods
and created a stronger community.

Our all-volunteer organization has accomplished amazing things.

We have organized leaders and volunteers; sparked new ideas and managed sound planning; connected with city planners and managers, other neighborhood support organizations, and other communities. We have revitalized the Millersville area and continue to improve its quality of life.
