About Oakdale Neighbors

Oakdale Neighbors is a Christian community development organization based in the Oakdale/Boston Square area of Southeast Grand Rapids, Michigan. It works to create a neighborhood of vitality and grace by discovering, developing, and connecting neighbors' skills and resources.

Core programs include the Oakdale Community Bike Shop (formerly Boston Square Community Bikes), the Learning Café (youth academic and enrichment programming), and the Lamp Post community engagement and resource-navigation work. Programming is place-based and resident-led, focused on increasing access to affordable transportation, supporting youth, and strengthening neighborhood connections.

The organization is a registered 501(c)(3) (EIN 38-3325509, tax-exempt since June 1997) and maintains regular public Form 990 filings. Recent activity includes continued program delivery through 2023–2025 and new grant support in 2026 to expand The Learning Café, Lamp Post, and the bike shop.
