“Neighbors in Need helps us all remember that we all came from somewhere — many of our families came to the US with nothing. This group helps us help new immigrants create homes for their families.”
“This is community. This is us. Just everyday people helping neighbors every day including the ones they have never met. If you have any doubt about the beauty of humanity — wait until you meet NIN neighbors.”
“Thankful for all the people out there who open their hearts and minds to the community we all share. Thank you for being there NiN.”
“Now in my 70s, I’m meeting people from around the world for the first time in my life. NIN members and clients show the best of humanity as individuals and the true sense of creating community together — all with love, generosity, grace, and appreciation. These wonderful, brave people have endured so much to get here. We joyfully give them friendship and heartfelt caring during such vulnerable periods of adjusting and settling into new lives.”
“Neighbors in Need has been a great reminder for me of just how powerful our networks are, especially through social media, and how much we can all accomplish in our free time, even if just a few hours a week. Most asylum seekers and refugees have left behind their friends and family, their network, their support system, their community. So the goal is that these families feel a little less alone, and a lot more hope — and I think they do.”
