Supporting Community Organizations/Institutions

The 7th Ward Neighborhood Center plays a major role in supporting the just rebuilding of the community. Collaborating with other community organizations is the "way the Center rolls": by convening residents and organizations in their space, the 7th Ward Neighborhood Center staff enables stakeholders to come together and find ways to build community collectively. The Center is deeply invested in furthering social justice through resident-led campaigns to address issues of disenfranchisement and disinvestment. The 7th Ward Neighborhood Center helps galvanize the community around initiatives, such as the work to reopen the critically-needed Circle Food Store, that build a more communal environment.  
 Neighbors get fresh fruit from the Circle Food parking lot while working collectively to help the neighborhood institution reopen.
