Our mission is to foster a safe, diverse, and walkable Eastown neighborhood by creating opportunities for neighbors and friends to engage and connect.
About us
The Eastown Community Association is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit and CDBG Funded Neighborhood Association that was formed through the joint efforts of Aquinas College and Eastown residents in 1973. The Eastown Community Association has been working in this community for 50+ years to ensure that every Eastown resident and business owner is informed about community issues and represented at the city–wide level. The ECA works with City officials, the Grand Rapids Police Department, other nonprofit organizations and area businesses. The Eastown Community Association also works closely with the Eastown Business Association on improvement projects within the business district.
