Around Christmas we take a collection at the school for non-perishable foods and any toys that can afford to be donated to help give needy the families Christmas dinner and their children a gift under the tree. Just because the family feel down on their luck, children shouldn’t be robbed of the magic of Christmas. "

    "What I like the most is that only people who lived here gets around. You don’t have to worry about anything since it is a very quiet place, specifically during the night it is very peaceful to have a very good night without noises. Moreover, it is surrounded by the nature which makes this neighborhood a very nice place to live. "

    "I've lived on this block for almost 6 years now. For the most part, it is a quiet block with older residents who are retired, a few younger couples that work and maintain our respectable area. Traffic tends to be challenging due to its relative location in downtown Wilmington, however this is minor compared to the conditions of some areas within a half of a square mile. Neighbors are friendly and we look out for each other."
