We Care KS
Show that you care today!
We Care is on a mission to create a social movement centered on joy, relationships, and abundance by discovering, connecting, and mobilizing the gifts of our neighbors.
Being a good neighbor is simple, and everyone can participate. All you have to do is take the We Care Pledge and display your free We Care yard or door sign!
When you join the We Care Team, you commit to being a connector in your neighborhood. We’ll even teach you how to do it with our 8 Front Doors Challenge! It’s a breeze to do: meet the neighbors closest to you, identify their unique skills and talents, and engage with them regularly.
In Wichita: Our goal is to get 80,000 Wichitans to commit to being a good neighbor by joining the We Care Team.
In Wyandotte County: We are partnering with WyCo Mutual Aid to make caring visible in KCK!
These simple steps help us all be active, caring, and responsible neighbors and community members, working together to build thriving communities right in our backyard.
We Care is helping to rebuild our social fabric.

We’re so glad you asked! When we have meaningful relationships with our neighbors, we foster trust, safety, and a sense of community. Learning about our neighbors’ strengths and passions also helps build supportive communities right where we live, so we can leverage them to create thriving spaces.

It takes approximately 20% of a community to invest in a movement to see cultural change. If 80,000 Wichitans commit to being good neighbors, display yard signs, and complete the 8 Front Doors Challenge, we can significantly reduce isolation and loneliness, which in turn will lead to decreased crime, improved education, and more fulfilling neighborhoods.

We wanted to find a way to make caring visible to everyone. What better way to do that than with a yard sign or door hanger? By displaying a We Care sign, you’re helping make caring visible in our community and telling your neighbors that you want to be connected.
Please email hello@neighboringmovement.org to coordinate a pickup time.
Unable to pickup your yard or door sign? Send us an email and we’ll find a way to get the sign to you!
