50 ways to meet your neighbor

Making community connections is at the core of what we’re trying to do over here. So when I stumbled across this zine, I had to share.

Here are a few we’ve done or regularly do:

12. Help carry groceries. This is just a nice thing to do.

19. Share knowledge. Know how to change a bike tire? Offer your services and a do-it-yourself lesson.

31. Organize a group activity. Perhaps a local library or community center has something that will fit. Picking up trash in a park or high-use area is a good go-to.

32. Picking up trash, generally, is a good way to meet neighbors. People notice.

36. Sell lemonade. Or give it away. You can raise money for a neighborhood cause.

37. Sell stuff. Who doesn’t like to browse a bundle of miscellaneous stuff?

40. Give things away for free. Free fridges, stores, and libraries are excellent, but anything useful in a box could get people to stop by.

50. Just hang out — with food and music edition. Some call this a party.
