I first visited @4AllPeople4 in 2007. Their hospitality & passion for the abundance in communities was a great source of motivation in our early community development work.

ABCD is all about using the strengths in your community. How have you seen your community use its assets? Let's celebrate local initiatives like ReNewport, the tree planting groups, a good partnership of residents, non profit, local and federal government.
