*Business & Community Connect

Business & Community Connect is a core initiative designed to provide a structured environment where residents, business owners, and resource partners can engage directly.

Through these events, participants are able to learn about available services, gain visibility, and build relationships that support both individual needs and broader community growth.

Lewis & Jones approaches community as an interconnected system—where awareness, access, and participation all contribute to stronger, more informed neighborhoods.

*Back-to-School Drive

The Community Giveback Initiative focuses on supporting local families through targeted efforts, beginning with a planned Back-to-School Supply Drive.

Sponsors have the opportunity to contribute through both financial support and in-kind donations, directly impacting families within the community. As this initiative develops, additional efforts will be introduced based on identified needs.

Where Your Support Goes

Your support helps fund initiatives that bring residents, businesses, and community resources into one space—creating opportunities for engagement, awareness, and long-term community development.
