A second round of Acts of Kindness and Digital Neighborhood Grants have been awarded to organizations throughout South Bend.

This summer, the Engagement and Economic Empowerment Team awarded 15 grants, ranging in size from $250-$350, to residents and organizations nominated to develop new programs. The grants are an effort to assist neighborhood organizations in improving their digital engagement with residents through training on remote communications software and devices for improving video quality.

A Tend the Bend Trailer has also been introduced to the South Bend area in hopes of supporting neighborhoods’ beautification efforts.

The trailer is outfitted with tools like lawnmowers, rakes and weed whackers. Any resident led-organization, including churches, nonprofits and neighborhood organizations, can book the trailer.
