We improve the quantity and quality of positive community experiences by organizing and participating in activities that foster dialogue and exchange. We believe that a neighborhood is defined by the shared experiences of all its members. Currently, TheNeighborhoodFirst.org is focused on the North Side of Chicago, including the Neighborhoods of Uptown, Edgewater, and Rogers Park.

Volunteers pack a shopping cart together in an effort to raise donations for the Edgewater food pantry, Care for Real. In the end, nearly $200 worth of food were purchased and donated to the local food pantry. What a successful event!
