Two weeks ago we met with one of the small business microgrant recipients at their new culture center in Baynard Village! We are excited to welcome the Culture Restoration Project to the neighborhood and for young adults to have a third space in the community!

Culture Restoration Project, Inc. is a Wilmington based nonprofit organization founded in 2013 to transform communities through culture. We develop curriculum-based enrichment programs for school-age children, addressing critical needs including youth violence, low academic performance, and the need to affirm positive self-identity. Through cultural education and experiences, we empower young people to thrive and become positive contributors to their community.

This is the first part of our interview with CRP Inc., to watch the second half make sure you are following JSC!

Last Thursday, the University of Delaware’s Health for All program joined us during our weekly food pantry! Many community members were able to speak with the nurse practitioners as well as have their vitals checked!

What better way to know the process, then to show how a blood sugar screening and blood pressure assessment is performed. I really enjoyed my time speaking with the nurse practitioner as well as taking a health screening survey! 🩸🩺⛑️

Did you miss last Thursday? No worries! Health for All will be joining us again on October 1st and on November 19th in the Gathering Place from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM. 🗓️⭐️

Let's take a walk through Baynard Village 🚶🏽‍♀️✨

Baynard Village was originally farmland owned by the Elliott family. The area was purchased in 1892 by Samuel H. Baynard, a prominent Market Street jeweler. Baynard's vision was to create a prestigious, upscale suburb north of the original city border called "Washington Heights”.

The centerpiece of the neighborhood was "The Boulevard," a wide, tree-lined avenue laid out in the 1890s and later constructed around 1906. The city built the Washington Street Bridge to connect the new suburban development to downtown Wilmington.

South East 9th Ward was the name of the neighborhood association. About 30 years ago two members of the board were also city council members. Back when wards existed. Both council members wanted to put emphasis on where they were serving with the city limits.

Baynard Village Neighborhood Association invites community members to a walk-through with State Senator Dan Cruce to review the streetscapes at intersections. Join us on August 11th at 5:00 PM to discuss how we plan to improve the “coins” or bricklayouts.
