Shop Locally.

There are many well-documented benefits to our communities and to each of us to choosing local, independently owned businesses. We realize it is not always possible to buy what you need locally and so merely ask you to Think Local FIRST!

Help a Neighbor.

Communities work better ( students perform better, crime rates are lower, kids are safer, people live longer) when neighbors know one another better.
Volunteer with United Way

Mentor a Student.

“Opening up our hearts and making a commitment to a young person who is in need of having a caring adult in their life is one of the noblest things human beings can offer each other.” -Mark Andrews, Superintendent - Essex Town School District

Join a Neighborhood Watch.

A Neighborhood watch works to reduce crime and safeguard property. It’s success depends on great relationships between residential neighborhoods and local police departments.
