Neighboring
Creating pathways for individuals to experience impactful relationships.
The Neighboring Initiative exists to bring collaboration in the City of Newport Beach to create pathways for individuals to experience impactful relationships with their neighbors, for every neighborhood to have an “Intentional Neighboring Network”, and for local organizations to work better together.
The heart behind this initiative is for individuals to begin experiencing more meaningful relationships with their neighbors and the fruit that comes from a more connected neighboring network. Our hope is every neighborhood in Newport Beach would have a thriving network where individuals feel a sense of ownership and fulfillment knowing you are making a difference in your community.
The City of Newport Beach has wonderful city initiatives, caring churches, engaging non-profits, and a thriving business community. Under this initiative, we work with these organizations through Love Newport Beach Day and year-round serving opportunities for residents to give of their time, talent, and treasures.

Labors of Love
We seek to identify and serve a neighbor in need (widow, single parent, elderly, etc.) by supporting with a manual labor project such as painting, repairs, maintenance, etc. We are currently looking for a passionate team of individuals who are willing to seek out neighboring needs, manage supplies & materials and possess maintenance/repair tools.
Initiative Leader
Reina is passionate about growing relationships among our community and beyond. She discovered her passion for community work during her time as staff at The Beacon Church in Orange, CA working alongside Love Orange & Love Irvine initiatives and directly witnessing how churches can strategically partner with cities to make a greater impact.
Reina is a proud resident of Orange County and loves pouring into the cities she believes in. She was blessed to meet her husband, Chris, while serving the community and continues to serve alongside her husband & 2 children. During her free time, she enjoys tandem biking with her family and using her floral services to bless family and friends.
Program Coordinator
Birdi leads a team of dedicated volunteers to identify Newport Beach residents who struggle with the upkeep of their homes. She believes that we all have gifts to share and we all experience times of need; whether it’s tangible or intangible, each of us has something to contribute to make Newport Beach a stronger community.
