What is Good Neighbor Week

Good Neighbor Week is Omaha’s first citywide week of neighboring, hosted by One Omaha. Every day has a theme and a simple challenge, and neighborhoods across the city host their own gatherings, from porch parties and block meetups to cleanups and workshops. You do not need to do everything. Meeting one new neighbor counts.
