What does it mean to love your neighbor?

At Treetops Collective, we believe neighborliness is who we choose to see, to draw near to, and to love. It is a daily practice of showing up. It is choosing connection over fear, welcome over exclusion, and hope over indifference.

I have a sign in my kitchen, strategically placed so my kids and I see it first thing every morning. It was made by Treetops and has hung on our wall for nearly six years. It simply says: Love your neighbor.

And maybe that is the whole truth—and responsibility—we need to return to. Yes, I see you as human. Yes, I acknowledge you as my neighbor. But do I love you?

Do I love you by seeing you? By responding to your needs? By protecting you? By honoring your dignity and worth? By celebrating your gifts and making space for you to share them? Do I love you by advocating for you? By listening and learning from you? By sharing meals with you? By holding your babies and spending time together as families? By caring for you when you are sick? By writing notes of encouragement when you feel weary or alone? Do I love you by bearing witness to your pain, your fear, and your uncertainty—and doing my part to seek peace, as far as it depends on me?

At Treetops Collective, we believe loving our neighbor looks like this. And your generosity helps make it possible.

Your financial gifts help steward and amplify this work. When you give, you’re not just responding to challenges in the world—you’re actively investing in something better: a community where welcome, hope, and connection take root. Read more.

Together, we can keep building the kind of world we want to see—right here in West Michigan.
