What if your neighbor was the person who lived across the street from you and the person who lived across town? What if your neighbor was the person you immediately related to and the person who seemed to have nothing in common with you? How would this change your view of your neighborhood and your view of San Antonio?
These are the questions we are asking at Know Your Neighbor. To truly understand San Antonio, who do we need to know and count as our neighbor? By sharing stories and experiences, we hope to create a more whole story about what life is like in San Antonio for all our neighbors.
Know Your Neighbor is an initiative through the H. E. Butt Foundation to better understand the relational and economic landscape of San Antonio. San Antonio consistently ranks as one of the most impoverished and economically divided cities in our country. So, what does that mean? It means you can have an entirely different set of experiences and opportunities depending on the neighborhood you call home.
The Foundation has a strong history of working towards overcoming obstacles to health and wellbeing in our community. Today, through Know Your Neighbor, the Foundation can focus on the obstacles preventing our neighbors in San Antonio from living whole and abundant lives and encourage our entire community to dream of a new way forward. Together, we can bridge the issues that have divided our city for far too long.
