COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR The Steady Presence Archetype: Connector and Community Care Keeper TERRY ALLEN NEIGHBORHOOD: FAR EASTSIDE “My joy is found in helping others find their way to peace and stability.” Terri Allen’s path is shaped by wisdom, lived experience, and a heart for helping neighbors discover peace through creativity. As a long-established resident of Carriage House, Terri has seen the joys and struggles of her community. Her passion for uplifting others comes from a lifetime of understanding what stability, comfort, and belonging can mean for families. Her passion is creating moments of calm and connection. Terri teaches her neighbors how to slow down, breathe, and find rest through the practice of knitting. What began as a personal hobby became a shared space of healing after she used Joy Funds to start a knitting circle for women in her community. Her purpose is to nurture the emotional wellbeing of the Far Eastside. Whether she is encouraging younger mothers, uplifting elders, or supporting Annie in community work, Terri brings a grounding presence that strengthens every connection she builds.
