Social Justice

The Social Justice Committee is focused on working with other organizations to assure that the Whiteaker Neighborhood takes care of its own. Dedicated to improving connections to service providers, bringing resources to those that need them, neighborhood clean-ups, extreme weather response, and outreach. There are currently no formal meeting times, as much of the work happens through our other committees as social justice is a core part of every aspect of our work.
