Adult Education: Reach Riverside
October 8, 2023 @ 10:10 am - 11:00 am
Reach Riverside
Presented by Logan Herring, CEO
October 8 | 10:10 a.m. | Classroom 6 and Zoom*
Reach Riverside is a major undertaking by a broad spectrum of local, state, and national government and private partners dedicated to rebuilding a long-neglected part of the city of Wilmington. This Northeast section of the city was originally built as a community for white veterans of World War II and thrived. As these veterans acquired wealth and moved on from the neighborhood, the residential population became largely African American. Due to systemic racism and economic disparities, this community then suffered widespread and long neglect. Reach Riverside, now capitalized at over $600 million, is changing that: building affordable housing, creating a Warehouse for teens, and operating the Kingswood Community Center. Come and learn about recent developments in this massive, transformative effort, one of the mission projects of Westminster; and, whose development foundation is headed by our parishioner, Charlie McDowell.
Logan Herring has been the Executive Director of Kingswood Community Center since 2016. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management from Goucher College and a certificate in Non-Profit Leadership from Boston College.
