We interrupt the news cycle of what divides us with the opportunity to find what connects us! Join us as we share and listen to each other’s stories of what it means to belong. Together, we’ll reflect on how we can create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
We hope you’ll join us for our next Community Circle on Tuesday, July 7, at Neighbors Community Center, 450 Prince Street, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Let us know you are coming by registering at advoz.org/events.
Community Circles provide a safe and welcoming environment for people from all walks of life to come together and connect through conversation around various topics. Through open-hearted conversation on the first Tuesday of each month, we aim to foster empathy, understanding, and a sense of shared humanity. Share. Listen. Connect. Circle Dialogues are designed to be inclusive! This ancient practice brings people together together, strengthening our capacity for human connection across areas of commonality and difference. Join us in creating this hope for stronger communities.
- Share Stories. Circles focus our sharing on personal experiences that have impacted us, rather than simply ideologies or opinions.
- Listen. The slower pace and order of Circles encourage deep listening, and understanding across diverse viewpoints.
- Build Connection. Stories connect and strengthen us, individually and collectively.
First Tuesday of the month (different themes each month), 7 to 8:30 p.m. Facilitated by Advoz. Hosted by Neighbors Community Center. |

Two ways to donate to CommunityAid and benefit Neighbors Community Center |
Getting rid of extra clothing, shoes, and household items? Consider donating them to CommunityAid Thrift Store and Donation Center. For each pound of donated clothing and shoes, Neighbors Community Center receives $.13!
Here are two easy ways to unburden your closet or attic:
- Drop off your new or gently used items at the cart in our side lobby (450 North Prince Street, Lancaster, Pa.) open during Neighbors Cafe hours (currently Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday, 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.). No further action is needed.
- Drop off items, including furniture, household items, and larger items, at the CommunityAid Donation Center, 31 Rohrerstown Road, Lancaster, PA (or any of their other locations, Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
Mention code 50354 to give credit to Neighbors Community Center each time you donate. Remember this number. Write it on a post-it. Save it as a note on your phone. Take a screenshot. Get a tattoo (just kidding).
We appreciate your involvement and CommunityAid's partnership as we are all Neighbors Helping Neighbors! |
Neighbors Community Center at Hub450 is a welcoming place to connect, learn, and celebrate. We welcome those who have lived in Lancaster for many years and also our new neighbors from across the country or around the globe.
Programs include the Neighbors Welcome Desk, English classes for refugees and immigrants, Global Women’s Village (a co-op for artisans), and after-school tutoring.
Hub450 is also available to rent as a venue for your next corporate, social, or private event.
