In 2022–2023, WNCLB played a key role in creating a new community-designed playground at Neighborhood House in Southbridge—transforming a vacant lot into a three‑phase safe space, with plans for a multi‑sport court and green classroom to grow produce for a youth farmers market. Meanwhile, in summer 2023, the Art‑O‑Mat launched on the corner of 7th and Washington Streets —a renovated former laundromat and liquor store turned into a multi‑use arts and healing hub offering workshops, exhibits, and local artist residencies.
