Neighbors Helping Neighbors
When a large tree came down in our neighborhood, it could have been a big challenge for one of our own. Instead, neighbors came together to get the job doneโ€”a great example of what makes Springfield, and our South Fountain community, a great place to live.

Thanks to everyone who helped out. In our neighborhood, thereโ€™s never a shortage of advice, helping hands, or friendly support.
