Mission Moments
Thank you to everyone who supported our Garage Sale Day, Tool Library Sale, and recycling event on May 21! The event featured more than 70 neighborhood sales and 20+ vendors in our flea market. Over 200 neighbors recycled with great event partners like Waste Management, and they turned in 11,063 pounds of waste and unwanted items! We loved seeing the community out treasure hunting, selling, and decluttering on a sunny day.
The PhinneyWood Rainbow Hop celebration honored Pride on June 4 with engaging family fun activities promoting inclusiveness. Forty community partners hosted booths throughout the neighborhood and hundreds of kids enjoyed the event. The PNA booth hosted an interactive art activity celebrating family and our PNA Village brought music, colorful “magic” wands, and intergenerational joy.
Our Small Business Advocate Chris Maykut enjoyed meeting over 100 kids as they exchanged their Hop maps for zoo tickets and shared that, "nearly everyone went out of their way to express how much fun they had and how meaningful the action of creating this annual event is to them. The businesses and organizations brought incredibly imaginative and delightful activities that helped bring home the message that our community is safe, inclusive, and committed to equity."
