Sign Up for the SWONA Neighborhood Garage Sale – June 21 & 22

Are you planning to join this year’s community garage sale? Let us know by filling out the form so we can include your address on the map and help promote your sale!

Whether you're selling treasures, helping a neighbor, or offering space for someone without a yard—there's a way for everyone to get involved!

Sign Up for the Community Garden Project and/or Sign Up for the Gleaning Project

SWONA’s Community Garden and Gleaning Projects work together to increase access to fresh, local food—and you can sign up for one or both!

The Community Garden Project is for anyone interested in helping grow food with neighbors—whether you want to host a garden site, plant and maintain beds, donate materials, or help build garden boxes. We’re also partnering with the West Central Park Neighborhood Center (WCPNC) to support their existing community garden beds and expand access to fresh produce through shared volunteer support and collaboration.

The Gleaning Project is for neighbors who want to donate extra fruit from their trees or volunteer to help pick fruit that might otherwise go to waste. All harvested produce will be shared locally with those who can use it.

Whether you’re planting, harvesting, or helping share extra produce—there’s a way to get involved!

Sign Up for the SWONA Emergency Response Effort

Help us build a safer, more connected neighborhood by joining SWONA’s emergency response effort. We're organizing neighbors to plan for disasters, check in on each other, and coordinate support when it’s needed most.

Whether you can serve as a point of contact, assist with communication, or support neighbors with medical or mobility needs—there’s a valuable role for everyone.

Join the SWONA Neighbor Network Facebook Group -

✅ Borrow and share tools or resources
✅ Swap, trade, or give away items

✅ Build a stronger, more connected neighborhood
