(our ethos)

See a need and help!

50 years ago, a small group of individuals started what would eventually become Project Neighbors. The concept was quite simple….see a need and help. Our amazing group of volunteers and financial supporters have helped sustain us for these 50 years, and the return on investment is simply amazing! Consider supporting Project Neighbor with a one-time on monthly contribution, the gift of your time, or partnering with us. Doing so is incredibly rewarding experience, and will make a difference a for so many in our community.
