Checking in on a senior. Dropping off groceries. Opening for carryout. Working double shifts at a hospital. Delivering supplies. Sewing face masks. At the heart of this pandemic, we have seen the heart of our community beat stronger than ever before. Everyday people are tirelessly and selflessly giving of themselves to ensure those who need extra support and care have everything they need to get through. Nominate a neighbor!

With easing restrictions, West End families need childcare support and protection from eviction. Read the full Soapbox article written by Kareem A. Simpson here.

With major developments occurring in the West End neighborhood, our reality is that nearly half of our residents are at risk of displacement.  Seven Hills has been at the forefront of protecting neighbors and promoting inclusive development. Our organization will continue to host the Home Sweet Home Fundraiser  campaign to bring greater awareness to the current conditions and raise capital for investments to keep individuals safe from eviction and displacement.
