SEAC promotes quality of life within Rochester’s South East area by connecting individuals and community partners to essential resources.
Mount Hope World Singers is proud and grateful to call SEAC our home. SEAC provides us with many essential components of successful not for profit function. Including:
Mount Hope World Singers is a welcoming community of singers with a small budget and volunteer management team. As a choir, it is our goal to build community and foster intercultural understanding through engaging, high quality, respectful performance of music in original languages from around the globe. Without SEAC, we would not have the resources to carry out this mission. With SEAC’s support, the choir has continued to thrive even through the pandemic, and we look forward to many years of mutual cooperation.

In the spirit of “Love where you Live”, the Pearl- Meigs-Monroe Neighborhood strives to engage its residents and foster a sense of community. SEAC has been our invaluable partner in bringing these intentions to fruition since 2018.
SEAC sponsors our PMNA Blessing Box, providing personal care packets to residents in need and those passing through. The subsequent grants they have secured allow our own neighbors to experience the gift of giving when we distributed over 300 Snack Packs and shelf-stable foods during the pandemic. They also co-sponsored our very successful 2019 porch contest, inspiring landlords and residents to invest in beautifying our community and to develop strong and healthy relationships among renters, residents, and merchants.
The PMMNA has benefitted in other ways from our membership with SEAC. They have:
The Pearl-Meigs-Monroe Neighborhood Association is grateful for the enduring support of SEAC and looks forward to continuing our affiliation for years to come.

Wide Water Gardens, located at 345 Rosedale St. in the Upper Monroe Neighborhood, was delighted to become a project of SEAC in 2020, after a decade under the auspices of the Upper Monroe Neighborhood Association. SEAC provides us with a variety of essential support services, as well as drawing us into closer contact with other community gardens and our City partners. Some of the major benefits of our association with SEAC are:
And, most importantly, they serve as a reliable and enthusiastic partner in our efforts to maintain the garden as a thriving community asset.
Wide Water Gardens was founded in 2010 and is currently managed by a volunteer Board. We have 60 raised garden beds of varying sizes, and members cultivate their own beds and commit to helping maintain the common perennial gardens and shared grape arbors, squash bed, herb garden and berry patches. We are open to the public and we serve our neighborhood as a parklike area with benches, paths and the beauty of abundant flowers. This year we are adding a produce stand where gardeners can place surplus produce for non-members to enjoy.

Board President, Wide Water Gardens
SEAC is thrilled to announce and welcome Lori Wood to our community as our new bookkeeper!
I am a lifelong Rochester resident and have lived in the North Winton Village area for the last 22 years.
We moved to this area specifically because of the beauty of the neighborhoods and so much that it has to offer; parks, library, restaurants, and great schools for our daughter.
I have over 15 years of non-profit accounting experience working for RochesterWorks Inc., Community Place of Greater Rochester, and iCircle Services of the Finger Lakes.
My hobbies are yoga, kayaking, reading, bike riding, and hiking. My husband and I love to take our dog Brodie walking through the neighborhood. We meet several people and their dogs, always remembering the dogs name but not the owners for some reason.
