Love, Sequoia
The RenewAll Staff is spreading the love this month for Valentine's Day! Each staff has prepared a "love letter" for the community. Read on to see what Sequoia, RenewAll's Community Engagement Coordinator, had to say. Additionally, follow us on social media for fun Valentine videos from us to you!
Dear Community,
As we inch closer to Valentine's Day, I can’t help but reflect on why I love my community so much and why I work for such a small, yet mighty non-profit. At RenewAll, we focus our work around a clear and simple vision: to spark transformative change by weaving history, community, and culture into vibrant new spaces. This isn’t just a vision statement to me; it’s something I see unfolding every day.
My community goes beyond my place of work; it’s where I live, where I enjoy my time with friends, where I worship, where I shop, and where I find purpose in giving back. When I look out into the West Huntington community, I see opportunity everywhere. I see public art in unique spaces, people with stories wanting to be heard, empty homes ready for new life, and shops owned by regular yet deeply inspiring people.
When I discovered the impact of organizations like RenewAll, I knew I wanted to be on board and be part of the change, not just because I am invested in the work, but also because I am invested in the future of the community I already belong to.
Love,
Sequoia
