WHO WE ARE

The Plum Nelly East Neighborhood Association (PNENA) is a young neighborhood association dedicated to creating a more sustainable and vibrant neighborhood. Located at the intersection of 31st and Maple, PNENA is committed to nurturing the local area, beautifying its streets, and preserving its rich history - all while embracing a vision for the future. A Leadership Board leads the Association's overall and day-to-day administration and operations.

What We Aim To Do

We aim to bring the community together via collaboration, inclusivity, engagement, and celebration. PNENA fosters a spirit of cooperation and collaboration, encouraging residents to work together towards the common goal of enhancing the neighborhood. The association is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment, where all members and residents feel empowered to contribute and shape the future of the community. By creating a diverse array of volunteering, projects, and leadership opportunities, PNENA provides ample avenues for residents to get involved and make a tangible impact. PNENA's community events serve as a means to bring residents together, celebrate the neighborhood's history and culture, and foster a deep sense of pride and belonging.

PNENA Food Gardens

At the heart of PNENA's mission is the commitment to providing locally grown food for the area. The PNENA Food Gardens serve as a vital source of fresh produce, empowering residents to take an active role in their own nutrition and the overall health of the neighborhood.

Cultivating Community and Opportunity

Beyond just growing food, the PNENA Food Gardens foster a sense of community involvement and shared responsibility. Members and neighbors come together to plant, maintain, and harvest the gardens, lead the Association and its initiatives, strengthening bonds and creating a deeper appreciation for the land they call home.

A Sustainable Future

By reducing reliance on external food sources and encouraging self-sufficiency, the PNENA Food Gardens represent a significant step towards a more sustainable and resilient community. This initiative is a testament to the association's forward-thinking approach to nurturing the neighborhood.
