About

Welcome to Parcel & Purpose — a place for people who believe that strong neighborhoods aren’t built overnight, and they aren’t built by accident. They’re created – slowly, carefully, and with purpose.

Right now, we’re just beginning. My family and I are preparing to move to a new place — a new patch of land, a new community to love, to listen to, and hopefully, to strengthen. As we search for our home, we’re also searching for something bigger: a neighborhood to nurture.

This blog is an invitation to come along on the journey. I’ll share what we’re learning about incremental development, small-scale projects, and most importantly, how to help neighborhoods thrive — not through massive change, but through small, steady steps rooted in purpose and place.

I hope you’ll join us. After all, making a community is something we do together — one patch, one purpose, one day at a time.

About Me

We’re Charlie and Kristin, the people behind Parcel & Purpose. Our dream for Parcel & Purpose is simple: to live and work within our community, to help build what’s needed, and to strengthen the fabric of the neighborhood one project at a time.
