Porch Events – The Porch Movement

ready to meet others in your area of the community?

It has been so nice meeting the people we have waved at all these years. Thanks Porch Movement for inspiring us to reach out and invite our neighbors to get together. ~ J.L.

After retiring and moving to the valley, I was concerned about finding community again. I am so thankful I found you guys right away. ~ J.K.

We have been having so much fun getting to know our neighbors. Our simple monthly gatherings are really helping us to look out for one another. I love living in this kind of neighborhood. ~ D.L.

I am so thankful I found this group since moving here. It has helped me feel more connected to the community and other people. ~ J.K.

I went to my first gathering today and met some really lovely people. I will be at future meetings as well. It was friendly, interesting, low pressure and welcoming. It was fun to see how much we had in common. I'm new to Minden and was hoping for a group like this.” ~ Deb S

“Our first Porch Game Night was so much fun. I am looking forward to more. It was a fun, casual way to get to know other people in my community. When’s the next one?”

There can be such a variety of reason we don’t have people to be with in this season. A Friendsgiving is a causal way to be with others, share a meal, connect, and find friendship.

Feel free to bring a dish you would love to share with others. Or just come join the gathering! RSVP’s are helpful in planning. Thanks

Host Stories

“I started by connecting with one of my neighbors when she moved in. I wasn't sure if it was going to work out. We have become walking buddies and now have added several other ladies to our little neighborhood posse.”

“I prefer to have my home as a get away from the world. And, I know people can benefit from connection, so my roommate and I hosted a bbq in our complex in order to get to know each other as neighbors. We are so glad we did. It was rad! And now the neighbors want to do a potluck next time."

Tyler M

“I hosted two of our neighborhood get togethers and now another family wants to host a 4th of July Potluck. We are really starting to build relationships in our neighborhood!”

About Us

We are currently facing a “LONELINESS EPIDEMIC”.

Together, we can do something about it!

We are building community one “Porch” at a time. Inspiring individuals and groups to create Porch Environments all across their community, in their neighborhoods, for the purpose of authentically connecting with others. Intentionally holding space for one another, and lending a genuine helping hand as needed. We are stronger together. As we partner with people like YOU, we can restore safe, caring, and strong neighborhoods, which will transform the way we do life with one another.
