SUPPORT
because everyone needs help from time to time. In a village, there is a neighbor you can count on...
-
to loan a spare tool or equipment
-
for emergency assistance such as meals after surgery or a new baby
-
to provide transportation help when someone can not drive
-
for physical help like changing smoke detector batteries or a lightbulb for someone who is unsteady on a ladder
-
for friendly check-in visits or phone calls to someone who lives alone
-
for tech support
BELONGING
to combat the epidemic of loneliness and preserve physical, emotional, and cognitive health.
SBP Village supports the Strathmore Bel Pre Civic Association and Bel Pre Recreation Association with additional programs to increase neighbor-to-neighbor interaction:
-
educational, cultural, and wellness programs to help the community stay informed, entertained, and engaged
- special clubs / groups so neighbors can meet others with similar interests such as hobbies, outings, languages, entertainment, sports and fitness
-
occasional community-wide events
