Our Commitment to Local Communities Through Heartfelt Support

In the heart of every thriving community, you'll find a shared spirit of togetherness, collaboration, and mutual support. This is where our story at Neighborhood Strategies began. We, as a community-focused organization, actively supported a wide array of local community-building events across Ohio in 2023. Our commitment went beyond participation; we made generous donations totaling $25,000. This contribution significantly impacted various sectors, showcasing our dedication to nurturing community spirit and growth.
