The 40th annual NeighborWorks Week saw 150 events across the country this year. They ranged from classes on homebuying to park cleanups to social media campaigns and more. In some towns, volunteers gathered to spruce up homes for older residents. In others, it was working on a community center or beautifying a community garden. NeighborWorks Week is held each year to bring communities together and to highlight the way NeighborWorks network organizations empower communtiies for success.
