Ward 8 Network

Neighborhood Connections

The Ward 8 Network connects neighbors from Hough, Asiatown, St. Clair-Superior, Glenville, Midtown and Downtown for relationship building and mutual support.

There are many friendly faces that make Ward 8 feel like home. We love honoring and highlighting community network weavers who show up for their neighbors, build trust, and strengthen belonging.

The Ward 8 Network is a neighbor-to-neighbor community rooted in connection. Join us to find support, share resources, and help weave belonging back into our social fabric.

There are no strangers here, just friends you haven’t met yet.

It’s about the relationships.
