The goal of our project is to help neighborhoods become more unified and self-sufcient by helping individuals put togethertheir resources and make the most of what they already have. By using the community garden, recipe, and potluck tips includedin the packet the residents of the neighborhood would work together to accomplish a goal that would help the entire community.This would lead to healthier, friendlier relations between neighbors, a drop in crime and stress, and in general a happierneighborhood.
