Welcome to We Love Berwyn - a new community hub! Berwyn is full of great organizations and a wide variety of events. This website has been made to create a space where neighbors, grass-root and non-profit organizations can come together in one place and post events, meeting updates and share what is going on in our community.

The concept for the community hub came about by the group pictured to the left.

While meeting as a book club, to discuss " The Serviceberry, Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World" by Robin Wall Kimmerer, we realized we all belonged to a wide variety of different community groups from the area, yet some of us didn't know each other's organizations existed. A lack of a central community calendar was also discussed.

From there we began working on the website and building connections with leaders from a wide variety of local organizations to create an information hub for the Berwyn Community.

The community hub took a whole group of people working in different components to make all of this come together. Thanks to everyone who has helped it grow along the way, this was a true community effort!
