I appreciate the CNA! I've been to several of their events, participate in the community garden, and pick up fresh fruit and veggies weekly thanks to their partnership with thr West Michigan FarmLink.

The CNA does a fantastic job organizing events for the community at large, helping people come together with those they may not on a usual basis. They are integral in helping concerned citizens keep tabs on developments happening around them and give many the opportunity to share their opinions.

Their Instagram has helped me discover small businesses in my neighborhood I wouldn’t not have known about otherwise. I love learning about current events such as ArtBash, dumpster day and the garden tour.

Creston is a better place to live and work because of the important work the neighborhood association is doing day in and day out! From educating neighbors to sharing helpful resources, I know that when I donate to this organization, my money will be put to good use.

Joining the Creston Neighborhood Association has been my first experience with board work. I’ve always wanted to play a role in helping bring my community together for a thriving and diverse place to live and visit, and CNA has given me the direction to achieve that dream. We work hard to unite local small businesses and neighbors to create a small town feel in the middle of a big city.

I have nothing but good things to say about the Creston Neighborhood Association! My husband and I participated in the Creston Garden tour this summer and both agree that the entire experience was the highlight of our summer! Both the staff and the volunteers were so kind and truly excited about the event and the community as a whole. It’s a blessing to live in such a close knit, community based neighborhood, and CNA is a huge reason for that.

Moved to this area in 2019, and found that this neighborhood association is doing everything to bring the community together. They empower people at the events to get to know your neighbor. It takes a village to raise your community

I first became aware of the Creston Neighborhood Association when I moved to Creston in 2017 and attended their neighborhood pancake breakfast. I was impressed by their inclusive efforts to build and strengthen community in a large and diverse neighborhood. Through events and information, CNA tirelessly works to support its residents. Creston is a great place to live thanks to the community-building work of CNA.

CNA brings people together who truly care about strengthening our community. They consistently advocate for neighbors, connect neighbors in need with critical resources and are always thinking of ways to bring things to Creston. There is a lot of work to be done but with passionate people running this organization I believe real change can be made.

I have been to a few of their events and every one is wonderful. Great people, ran smoothly, food and drink options were fantastic. I’ve had a lot of fun getting to know people, they are all so nice and welcoming. I love that everything is centered around community and raising funds for a good cause. They invest in the people and area around them which is why I moved back here.
