🍂🏡 As the leaves change and temperatures begin to drop, a few simple acts can help keep Kenmore, NY beautiful, safe and welcoming for everyone. 💛

Our Autumn Good Neighbor Guide has some easy ways to prepare your home and help your neighbors get ready for winter:

🍁 Rake leaves and keep sidewalks clear — Help keep walkways and curb areas clean and safe.
🌿 Tidy up your yard — Trim dead plants, cut back overgrowth and clear fallen branches.
🏠 Clean your gutters — Remove leaves and debris so water can drain properly before winter arrives.
❄️ Prepare for winter — Put away outdoor furniture, secure loose items and make sure your snow tools are ready.
🗑️ Keep the street clean — Follow local guidelines when putting out leaves, branches and yard waste for collection.
🔥 Be mindful of fire pits — Enjoy those cozy fall evenings while being considerate of neighbors, smoke and wind direction.
🤝 Check on your neighbors — A quick hello or helping hand can mean a lot, especially as colder weather approaches.

Being a good neighbor doesn't have to be complicated. Small actions make a big difference in our Kenmore community. 💙

🍂 Neighbors helping neighbors — all season long!

👶💛 Welcoming every new Kenmore baby!

Every new baby deserves a warm welcome to the community. Through our Made in Kenmore Onesie Program, KVIS gifts each new Kenmore baby a quality cotton onesie featuring the words “Made in Kenmore.”

Each onesie is festively wrapped and hand-delivered to the family’s door by a KVIS volunteer. It’s a small gift with a whole lot of Kenmore love. 🥰

Know a family welcoming a new baby in Kenmore? Let us know! Email [email protected] with the parents’ names, address, email and phone number so we can make sure their little one receives a onesie. 💛

The inaugural Kenmore Kids Crawl is just ONE WEEK AWAY, and we’re excited to share that KVIS and the Made for Good Shop will be one of the stops along the way! 🎉

For the Kids Crawl, we’re transforming the Made for Good Shop into a sensory station — a welcoming space for children who may need a break from the noise, crowds and excitement of the event.

🧩 Sensory tables with hands-on activities
💙 A more accommodating space to take a break
🌿 A chance to slow down, reset and recharge before heading back out to the Crawl

We want the Kenmore Kids Crawl to be a fun experience for all kids and families, including those who may become overwhelmed by the sights, sounds and activity of a busy community event. Sometimes, a little quiet time can make a big difference. 💙

📅 Sunday, October 25, 2026
⏰ 9 AM–1 PM
📍 Made for Good Shop, 7 Warren Ave., Kenmore

The Kids Crawl is designed for children ages 4–12, with a $10 wristband required to participate in activities. Proceeds from the inaugural event will benefit Amerion Holt, a Kenmore West graduate recovering from synovial sarcoma. ❤️

We can't wait to welcome Kids Crawl families into Made for Good — whether you're stopping in to explore our sensory activities or simply need a moment to regroup. 💙

See you at the Crawl!
