August 1, 2017
On the evening of August 1st, neighborhoods around the country hosted National Night Out events. FFYC’s apartment complex and program Rising Oaks joined in, and hosted a community dinner.
According to the City of Oakland’s website, “Sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, NNO [National Night Out] is America’s night out and a time for neighbors to get together to have a block party, ice cream social, potluck, or other outdoor event to build neighborhood spirit and unity, which is the first defense against crime. Research shows that when neighbors know each other, neighborhoods are safer.”
