🗓️✨ Turning the page on September—and looking ahead to what's next!

Happy National Good Neighbor Day! 🏡🤝

Strong neighborhoods aren't just built on houses—they’re built on the people who look out for one another. Whether it's waving hello, helping with a stray trash can, or checking in on an elderly neighbor, small acts of kindness go a long way.

Shout out a great neighbor in the comments who makes your community feel like home! 👇

❤️🤝 As September wraps up, we are closing our Tenant Spotlight series by looking at what matters most: the people.

Systems and buildings are vital, but it’s the human heart—the daily dedication and empathy of our team members—that truly turns an agency into a community anchor.

This week, we are honored to feature reflections from two incredible staff members at Community Action, Inc.:
✨ Cathy Marcotte (1 Year): "I'm proud to be a part of an organization where people matter and we make a difference."
✨ Brigette Arnold (42 Years): "I've enjoyed the people, the work, and being a part of change in our communities."

Forty-two years of service alongside fresh perspectives is a powerful testament to a mission that changes lives. While our September spotlight comes to a close, the work and partnership never stop!
