A Photo Gallery: We are calling it 'Love thy neighbor' Saturday

From grilling in local housing communities, to toy drives, to dancing Santa at our local homeless shelter…Saturday was saturated with community spirit.

A host of civic groups invited Davidson Local to join festivities on Saturday.

We’re calling yesterday “Love thy neighbor” Saturday. Photos will be uploaded throughout the weekend.

Davidson County’s generosity was evident on a rainy Saturday. Our Davidson Local team was honored to help soak up a day filled with hopeful news stories. We are a small but mighty news team. Let’s create positive news together!
