Lindon Was
Made for Connection.
Lindon already has the people, faith, service, beauty, and community spirit to build something rare: a city where neighbors truly know and care for each other.
Project Porchlight helps turn that strength into everyday connection — one street, one invitation, one meal, and one neighbor at a time.
Lindon has everything it takes. We just need to choose each other.
Find Your People in Lindon
Connection comes easier when it starts with something you already love.
Project Porchlight helps Lindon neighbors find people nearby who enjoy the same things — and turn shared interests into real friendship.
New activities are being added all the time as more neighbors sign up, start groups, and invite others in.
Get Outside
Hiking, mountain biking, road biking, paddleboarding, golf, Razor off-roading
Move & Play
Basketball, pickleball, racquetball, soccer, weightlifting, CrossFit
Gather Around a Table
Dinner parties, lunch groups, card games, board games
Talk & Learn
Book clubs and conversation groups
These are real activities local Block Builders have said they are willing to invite neighbors into — and the list will keep growing.
When you become a Porchlight Home, you can hear about neighborhood groups, block events, and invitations near you. Join what fits. Say yes when you can. And when you are ready, invite someone too.
Good Cities Still Need Connected Neighborhoods
Lindon is already a good place to live. That is the point.
Even strong communities can lose the everyday connection that makes a neighborhood feel like home. Modern life makes it easy to live near good people without really knowing them.
We can be busy, involved, and surrounded by people — while still missing the casual friendship, trust, and belonging that grow from repeated time together.
Project Porchlight helps rebuild that missing layer.
A strong city is not just a place with good homes.
It is a place where people are known.
What If Lindon Became
Utah’s Most Neighborly City?
Imagine a city where neighbors do more than wave.
- Where kids grow up surrounded by adults who know their names.
- Where new families are welcomed before they have to ask.
- Where older neighbors are noticed before they disappear.
- Where block parties, shared meals, service projects, driveway conversations, and simple invitations become part of normal life.
That kind of city is possible here.
Not because Lindon is broken. Because Lindon is ready.
The most neighborly city in Utah will be built one street, one invitation, and one neighbor at a time.
Lindon Has What It Takes
We want to start with what’s strong, not what’s wrong.
By that measure, Lindon is unusually well-equipped to build the kind of connected community many people hope for. We do not have to start from scratch. We can build from the strengths already here.
People Who Already Care
Lindon is full of people who show up: neighbors who bring meals, families who look out for kids on the street, volunteers who serve freely, and residents who give generously. That culture of care is one of the most important assets any community can have — and it is already here.
Stunning Natural Beauty
Lindon sits at the foot of Mount Timpanogos, minutes from Utah Lake and surrounded by parks, trails, and open space. Shared outdoor places are natural catalysts for connection. Lindon has them in abundance.

A City Built Around Families
Lindon’s family culture already creates natural networks of connection through schools, youth activities, parks, churches, and neighborhood life. Project Porchlight helps deepen and extend those connections so more people are included.
Deep Roots of Faith & Service
Lindon’s faith communities have been building social infrastructure for generations. They know how to gather people, support the vulnerable, and create belonging. Project Porchlight helps carry that spirit of care onto every street.

Engaged City & Community Leaders
Lindon has city leaders, local organizations, and community champions who care about quality of life. That civic capacity can amplify neighbor-led efforts and help grassroots connection spread.
Lindon does not need to become something else.
Lindon can become more fully what it already is.

A City Where Neighbors
Become Neighbors Again
This is not just about reducing loneliness.
It is about building a healthier, happier, more connected Lindon — a city where people are known, invitations are normal, and neighbors become part of each other’s actual lives.
That kind of connection does not happen by accident.
It happens one porchlight at a time, one invitation at a time, one block event at a time.
Connection Is Part of Health
Social health is the strength of our relationships, belonging, and everyday connection. It shapes our happiness, resilience, mental health, physical health, and quality of life.
Friendship Takes Time
Research suggests it can take around 50 hours together to become casual friends, 90 hours to become friends, and more than 200 hours to become close friends.
Neighborhoods Make It Easier
When connection happens close to home, it is easier to repeat. And repeated connection is how strangers become actual neighbors.
You Don’t Have to Do Everything.
You Just Have to Do Something.
Project Porchlight makes it easy to find the kind of involvement that matches who you are and what you want to give. Every role matters. Every neighbor counts.
For Neighbors Choosing a More Connected Life
You do not have to plan or organize anything. Just commit to showing up — saying yes to invitations, joining a neighborhood group, and occasionally breaking bread with someone nearby.
- Join a Neighborhood Group near you
- Say yes to invitations when you can
- Share a meal with a neighbor every 2–3 months
For Neighbors Who Like Making Things Happen
If you enjoy inviting people and helping others connect, you might be a Block Builder. Organize a few block events each year or lead a neighborhood group. We provide training, materials, and small grants to help you succeed.
- Host a few Block Events for your street each year
- Lead a Neighborhood Group around something you love
- Training, a Starter Kit, and small grants provided
