Get Connected in Your Neighborhood

Many of our readers recently moved into a new home leaving behind friends & neighbors. Staying indoors during the winter months can lead to boredom and the winter blues. Here are some ways to build connections, make friends and get involved in your community:

  • Introduce yourself to your neighbors.
  • Exchange phone numbers & follow on social media (let’s be honest, online community is getting more valuable these days)
  • Invite neighbors over for coffee, tea or dinner
  • Host a shin dig (Keep it simple, do a potluck)
  • Join your local neighborhood FB page (or start one!)
  • Volunteer at the local school
  • Get outside (bundle up and/or take advantage of the warmer days!)
  • Build a lending library (Check them out on our Pintrest board)
  • Give a warm welcome to new neighbors
  • Ask a neighbor for a cup of sugar! (Been there, done that!)
  • Offer a helping hand (lend a tool, helping move heavy items, shovel a sidewalk…)
  • Organize a community clean up!

We hope that our clients who have recently moved into new communities are finding their tribe and getting settled — as friendships and connections makes life so much sweeter!
