They call me the “Mayor of NoDa”—not because I hold office, but because I hold this neighborhood close to my heart. For over a decade, I’ve invested time, sweat, and more than $150,000 of my own money to build beauty, safety, and joy in this community. This site is a tribute to that journey—and a call to action for anyone who loves NoDa as much as I do.

Ways to Help:

  • [Donate Monthly or One-Time]
  • [Volunteer Your Time]
  • [Sponsor a Totem or Bench]
  • [Share a Story from NoDa]

Let’s build something beautiful—together.

Donate. Participate. Be Part of the Magic.

This isn’t just my journey—it’s ours. If NoDa has ever meant something to you, I’m inviting you to be part of this story. Your donation keeps the lights on—literally and figuratively. And your presence keeps the spirit alive. Let’s build together.

❤️ Get Involved Page: “How You Can Help”

You don’t have to carve a totem or build a bench to help NoDa. A donation, a few hours of help, or even sharing this site means the world.

Over the past decade, you may have undoubtedly observed the dedicated efforts invested in nurturing, enhancing, and safeguarding the cherished NODA community. Each festive season, from Christmas to New Year’s, Easter to Halloween, we diligently work to elevate the overall ambiance and appeal for our valued visitors. We often muse that if the world at large emulated NODA, it would undoubtedly become a markedly improved place. Our community thrives on love, respect, protection, and mutual appreciation, extending a warm invitation to all to experience its charms and consider a longer stay.
To uphold the harmony we hold dear, we kindly request that you approach your visit with the principles of respect and tolerance at the forefront of your mind. Let’s all do our part by refraining from littering, vandalism, or graffiti. The tireless efforts to address these ongoing challenges rely on the dedication of a single individual who selflessly invests their own resources in cleaning, painting, and organizing these transformative initiatives.
Regrettably, the resources of this dedicated community member are finite, and they face a continuous uphill battle. If you wish to contribute to the NODA beautification fund, we welcome your support. You can make a donation by scanning the QR code for Cash App at $SteveChickillo or using Venmo at @Steve-Chickillo. We kindly ask that you specify if you have a preference for which particular activity or effort your generous contribution should support. Here is a list of some of the initiatives that your donation can help fuel:
