Activate Community during Porch Placemaking Week May 30- June 5

Encourage your local residents and businesses to activate their front porch or yard, driveway or sidewalk during International Porch Placemaking Week. Find out how to participate here.

Implement an Adopt a Business Campaign

Communities around the world are engaging in the "Adopt a Business" movement. Have residents adopted one business they love by determining how much they spend at that business in a given year followed by establishing a tab for the same amount at that business - now! This could provide a much-needed cash flow bump to local SME's.
