Creative Engagement

Creativity inspires. The impact of creativity in our work and our daily lives shows up in so many ways—changing our perspectives, our relationships, our ideas about ourselves and the way we see the world. At Front Porch, we use creativity as a tool, a lens and an important means of bringing people together.

Staffed by volunteers, the pop-up markets feature fresh fruits and vegetables plus plenty of opportunities for socializing.

Volunteer

When a person dedicates their time, talent and compassion to another, it sparks a true connection. It’s evident in our communities, programs and social engagement events, where that connection transpires regularly to the benefit of so many. It’s empathy at work and its impact is invaluable.
