NEAR's team enjoyed being at Feast of Lanterns where we were able to connect with residents and partners, share information about Caulk of the Town, share housing opportunities and appreciate the work of the many volunteers who put on such a great event!

We're just two weeks out from one of the Near Eastside's best events. Feast of Lanterns is a magical evening and a chance to connect with many community organizers and shop with local artists and vendors.
