Thank you to everyone who recently completed our Neighborhood Coordinator survey!

We heard a few recurring themes and are excited to show you some new features we'll be rolling out in response to your input!

Keep scrolling to read more about these new features and other important Coordinator news!

P.S. You can access past editions of the Huddle Newsletter here!

Coordinators, we hear you!

You want more information about your impact:

We will now provide you with a miniature impact report you can download and share in each quarterly newsletter — see your impact below!



You want more communication and connection:

Along with these quarterly newsletters we will be hosting get-togethers to share tips and build community — keep your eyes peeled for an invitation to an event in late September.

You want PORCH to be more present in the community:

We're planning to be at more community events going forward to recruit new neighborhoods and make sure all of Chapel Hill and Carrboro know how awesome our Neighborhood Coordinators are!

Lastly, you like the printed materials we provide and would like more:

We are developing a Google Folder where you can "order" printed materials for your neighborhood and view email templates, tips from other coordinators, and the most recent version of the Neighborhood Coordinator impact report!

Neighborhood Coordinator highlight:

Since 2011, Jeanne Arnts has served as the Neighborhood Coordinator for the Falls of New Hope neighborhood, located off Mount Sinai Road. 

“I know from working in child maltreatment that stress is a major problem for both abuse and neglect,” she said. “By helping to relieve stress over food insecurity, we are not only helping the family, but we’re building a stronger community."
