About Us
Who we are
​We believe that the best way to love your neighborhood is to be rooted deeply in your place. As we live, work, and play in our places, we begin to see the good that is already happening. It’s only then that we can can ask “how can we join in?!”
We seek to partner with people and organizations that have a passion for their place - and help equip them to more effectively engage their place for good.


What we do
in Newton...
Illuminating the health, vitality, and flourishing of the neighborhoods we inhabit.
We are a small nonprofit located in Newton, Kansas. Our primary initiatives are in the neighborhoods of our hometown because this is the place we know best! Years of listening and learning have led us to create a third place on Main Street - Norm's Coffee Bar! This self-sustaining nonprofit business model has then birthed many initiatives - including a weekly community dinner, a food pantry, and an infant feeding pantry.
... and beyond Newton Newton!
​
We have global partnerships in Asia and Europe as well. We partner with like-minded people on the ground in those initiatives to provide encouragement and support as they seek to illuminate the health, vitality, and flourishing of their neighborhoods.
