Billy didn't find the antidote to loneliness in therapy or a self-help book. He found it making chicken salad sandwiches after Hurricane Sandy tore through Point Pleasant. What started as lunch for recovery crews led to discovering an elderly father in medical distress and his special needs son. They moved into Billy's RV, and Suzy helped secure permanent housing. Community isn't something you find, it's something you build through a thousand small decisions to notice someone and respond. This chapter covers four tools: acts of kindness, volunteering, building community connections, and finding your tribe.
