Community Care during COVID-19
Building Community and Solidarity
​Over fifty neighbors have so far stepped up and said they want to be helpful to neighbors in need right now . If you need help or are looking to offer help, please fill out this form and we will connect with you: Wedge Neighborhood Mutual Aid​

And if you are a FB user, you can connect with neighbors via www.facebook.com/groups/wedgecares. This is not a LHENA group but primarily administered and organized by neighbors for neighbors.

Stay connected and in the know via our weekly Neighborhood Update. 

​
Helping Neighborhood Businesses
If your business, or a place that you love, has recently changed its hours and services, let us know and we will help spread this information to the broader neighborhood. You can also simply check in with us and let us know how things are going, and we will connect with you soon: Help for Uptown Businesses during COVID-19. (And if you are a neighbor specifically interested in helping in this area, please let us know here.)

LHENA grew out of conversation between neighbors. Fifteen residents gathered on August 4, 1970, to discuss the neighborhood and issues of the times. Agreeing that this is a "good place to live," and with a desire to support "the positive values of city living," they connected with others and formally established LHENA on February 18th, 1971.

​Since then, neighbors have used LHENA as a platform to create Mueller Park, organize cleanups, support the children of Jefferson School, establish an Organics Recycling Drop-off program for renters, host countless potlucks and get-togethers, and many other things. There have been successes and failures, and things have been more active at some times than others. Throughout we have remained a presence in the neighborhood and today, we hope to be a means for neighbors to use their heart, head, and hands for positive community change.
