Port Street Commons Back to School Social 

August 22, 2025

On Thursday, the Community Hub at Port Street Commons was buzzing with excitement as Fello hosted a back-to-school celebration for the residents. The event brought together neighbors for an afternoon of fun and preparation for the new school year. 

The goal was simple: Help kids start the school year feeling prepared and supported. Every child went home with a backpack full of school supplies—pencils, notebooks, folders, crayons, and more—so they could step into their classrooms ready to learn. And because no celebration is complete without a treat, families cooled off with ice cream while enjoying time to relax, chat, and build connections.

While the main focus was providing school supplies, the celebration was also about fostering relationships among neighbors and with the Fello team. Moments like these strengthen the bonds that turn housing into community. 

“At Fello Communities, we don’t just provide housing—we build relationships,” said Keenan Troxler, Assistant Director of Property Operations. “We stay engaged with residents, listen to their needs, and create opportunities for connection and support.” 

This event was a reflection of Fello’s commitment to not just creating housing but also community. By investing in the well-being of our tenants’ children and bringing neighbors together, Fello strengthens connections, provides practical support, and opens doors to opportunity.

What is Port Street Commons? 

Port Street Commons opened its doors in November 2024, blending affordable housing, vital services, and welcoming community spaces to reflect the full diversity of the people who call Easton home. The Residences at Port Street include nine affordable housing units for people earning up to 65% of the Area Median Income, with two fully accessible units. More than just another housing development, Port Street Commons is a vibrant community built by Fello Communities with purpose and consideration. At Fello Communities, we believe we are more than landlords; we are neighbors who stand alongside residents, offering support wherever. However, it’s needed because we genuinely want everyone to succeed.
