Improving Our Neighborhood Together
Welcome to the Five Points community! We are delighted to have you as part of our vibrant and diverse neighborhood. At the Five Points Merchants Association (FPMA), our mission is to foster an inclusive and thriving community by promoting local businesses, supporting community initiatives, and enhancing the overall quality of life for all residents. Join us as we outline the community coordinated efforts that are shaping a better future for our neighborhood.
1. Promoting Local Businesses
At FPMA, we believe that supporting local businesses is the backbone of a strong and prosperous community. We actively work to promote and collaborate with local merchants, offering a range of business development programs and events to foster growth and success.

These community gatherings not only bring joy and entertainment, but also help foster connections among neighbors, creating a close-knit and inclusive community spirit that is the heart of Five Points.
4. Supporting Local Education
FPMA recognizes the importance of education in building a brighter future for our neighborhood. We actively collaborate with local schools and educational institutions to provide resources and support to students and teachers. Through our various initiatives, such as scholarships, mentorship programs, and book drives, we empower our youth and invest in their academic success.
5. Ensuring Safety
We believe that everyone deserves a safe and secure neighborhood to call home. FPMA works closely with local law enforcement agencies and community watch groups to ensure the safety of our residents.
