Looking for the perfect way to support your neighbors? Vice Mayor Kate Colin initiated this Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) Toolkit to arm residents with the tools and resources to help neighborhoods unleash the power of their relationships through reaching out, offering support, and making connections with one another. The N2N Toolkit is simple. Even something as small as “waving to your neighbors as you bring out your trash cans is a solid and reassuring connection,” says Vice Mayor Colin.
So simple.
So important.
Together we’ll get through this.
Become a neighborhood leader or a supporting team member!

Face Coverings Required Starting Wednesday
On Wednesday, April 22, face coverings will be required when you leave your home to engage in essential activities.
Face Coverings must cover your nose and mouth and should be made of fabric or other soft permeable material without holes. Children ages 12 years old and younger are not required to wear Face Coverings. Additionally, people engaging in exercise such as walking, running or biking are not required to wear a Face Covering, but should carry one with them and continue to practice social distancing.
Homemade cloth coverings, bandanas, and neck gaiters are all acceptable options. The CDC released a video outlining how to make a simple covering out of a few common materials. It’s pretty easy!
