Our Mission

Discover. Enjoy. Give Back. Starting four years ago as a small campaign website for a young city council candidate, ILoveAltoona.com has evolved into a significant communication venue for the Altoona, Pennsylvania area.  It’s more than just basic information on Altoona.  It’s about exploring, enjoying, and sharing with the community we call home.

Our Mission is Simple. We want to be a venue to strengthen families, revitalize neighborhoods, develop local business, and renew our community.

The Second Commandment. The founders of this site believe that “Love your neighbor as yourself”, the second greatest commandment, is the guiding principle.  We want to truly love Altoona by caring, acting, thinking and speaking in ways that will help our citizens and improve our City.

What’s Next? ILoveAltoona.com is not a newspaper website; nor is it a simple blog.  It is not just information or even just discussion – it’s discussion designed to lead to action. Do you love Altoona?  Then check back here frequently.  May our City shine in the days ahead.
