How do I find my community? 

Whether they’re new to the area or new to the county, one of the first things many people look for is a way to connect to their community. 

Scott Banford and Melissa Kelley moved to Covington in 2022 from New York City, where they lived for 25 years, to be closer to Kelley’s sister, who also lives in Covington. The couple rehabbed and moved into a home in Covington’s Eastside neighborhood. 

Then, Kelley said, “we wanted to get involved, because that’s just who we are.” 

And that’s how the Eastside+ Neighborhood Association, which unites neighbors all over Covington to address issues they may face together. They bring in local leaders to talk about different topics, and they coordinate days to beautify the neighborhood or help make home repairs. 

Community looks different for just about everyone, but here at LINK, we see it as our responsibility to help bring people together and find their communities. 

To that end, if you want to get involved and are looking for your community, find a list of community organizations here:
