Mayor Wood is passionate about connecting with the community and hearing firsthand from the people who make Mishawaka a great place to live. Front Porch Friday serves as a welcoming space where residents can share their observations, ideas, and experiences, while Mayor Wood reflects on the city he loves.
“Front porches are as American as apple pie, and they symbolize community and connection,” Mayor Wood said. “It’s the perfect spot for meaningful conversations with family, friends, and neighbors. I look forward to continuing this tradition.”
At the last Front Porch Friday, on a sunny afternoon, Mishawaka residents gathered to share their stories and thoughts. Mayor Wood was deeply moved by the heartfelt exchanges, where people sipped lemonade and chatted about life in the Princess City. These interactions help shape the Mayor’s understanding of the community’s needs and aspirations.
Being Mayor of Mishawaka is a role Mayor Wood cherishes, as it allows him to bring people together, build coalitions, and work directly for the betterment of the city. Front Porch Friday is just one of the ways Mayor Wood stays connected to the pulse of the community.
As always, Mayor Wood is eager to hear from residents and enjoy more conversations over lemonade. This event is a simple yet powerful way to foster community spirit and ensure that the voices of Mishawaka’s citizens are heard.
Join us for Front Porch Friday—bring your thoughts, ideas, and a thirst for some good conversation!
