We Are
Better Together
Formed in 1983 by neighbors and for neighbors, the WBNA has evolved from a homeowner’s association to the community-centered organization it is today. We are a “people-powered,” neighborhood nonprofit and rely on neighbors to join our Board, join committees, volunteer at events, and financially support our work.
We are a diverse and dynamic community
We are strongest when we are connected to our neighbors and believe that collaboration is critical to our success.
What we do
We are Here for You
WBNA works to build a unified voice for collective action in the neighborhood all to benefit residents, business owners, and visitors alike.
We Advocate
We ADVOCATE for affordable housing, quality public schools, clean parks and green spaces, community-centered development and sustainability.
We Organize
We ORGANIZE free events that bring community members together: West End Lights Winter Festival, Neighborhood Yard Sale, summer concerts in Dexter Park, Halloween Extravaganza and more.
We Coordinate
We COORDINATE food and toy drives during the holidays to help local residents experiencing financial hardship.
Resource Hub
We serve as a RESOURCE HUB, sharing information via our e-newsletters and community bulletin boards, and hosting monthly Neighbor Nights.
Together we make a difference and have fun
Being part of a community is more than just knowing your immediate neighbors. It’s about joining together with people to address local needs, building relationships, and partnering to create a thriving and welcoming place for people to live, work, and play.
Invest in your Community
Since 1983, WBNA has been bringing neighbors to the table around important issues, offering resources to the community, spearheading projects that enhance the quality of life in our neighborhood, and creating opportunities for neighbors to gather, support, and learn from one another.
Your donation is an investment in the neighborhood which allows WBNA to continue to do this important work. When we come together as neighbors, we accomplish great things.
UPCOMING Events
Connect with your Neighbors
From game nights to festivals, workshops and information sessions, to service projects, we invite you to come out, meet your neighbors and enjoy all our neighborhood has to offer.
