Our Mission

Community Renewal Austin’s mission is to equip and encourage people to connect their neighbors in caring friendship.

The busy pace of modern life has made it more challenging to know our neighbors well.

We use social media to keep up with people who live hundreds of miles away, but sadly many of us haven't spoken to our next door neighbors in months.

The more we advance ourselves technologically, the more disconnected and divided our communities have become.

What can we do to overcome the problems of social isolation, disconnection, and division?

We can dedicate ourselves to intentionally build a caring community with our neighbors!

Most people want to bring their neighbors together, but they don’t know where to start. Community Renewal Austin is here to help you create a caring community on your street.

You can turn strangers into friends where you live! Imagine the joy that comes from connecting your neighbors through shared contact information, coordinating regular neighbor gatherings, and supporting individual neighbors in need.

Our mission is to support a dedicated network of Block Leaders who will work together to connect their neighbors in caring friendship, and we need you to help us do it!

Renewing our community one caring neighbor at a time,

Allison Finch
