West End offers an alternative to payday loans via its Loans Plus program. Click here to read more about the program, and how it helped Jen Ford get back on track, and headed down the road toward financial stability...

Community Gardening
On Saturday, April 21st, nearly 75 local residents and community members turned out to help prepare Wilmington's largest community garden (located at 10th and Clayton Streets) for the summer growing season. Many thanks to all who volunteered, and especially to Andrew DiSabatino of EDIS Company and Tony Casale of Casale Construction for donating the compost and transportation respectively for the second year in a row!. The community gardens are part of a larger neighborhood revitalization project through the West Side Grows initiative. To learn more about West Side Grows, visit their Facebook page. |
