Ridge Day Fun Run

Let’s get the Ridge Day party started together. Sign up for our annual Ridge Day 1-Mile Children’s Fun Run. The run starts outside of All Saints Episcopal church. This run has been consciously designed for children of all ages and ability levels.

Afterwards, stop by Sidewalk Hospitality for donuts, coffee, and snow cones. We love celebrating the beauty of our neighborhood. Don’t miss this daytime bash before the evening’s festivities.

Become a Co-Worker!

Our facility includes co-working space and meeting rooms, as well as indoor and outdoor environments for community events. We’re always seeking co-workers who are neighborhood-focused and have a developed sense of social purpose. We provide an inclusive and supportive environment for new ideas, human connection, and success. Co-working members support the neighborhood hospitality and educational programming of Community Happens Here.

We believe connection starts at the sidewalk, that business can start with a dollar, and that community starts here, with each other.

We are your home for conversation, connection, coworking and professional growth. We host free events that help neighbors build relationships and offer entrepreneurship programs to build a stronger, more resilient community.
