DID YOU KNOW…Neighbors Network is a Non-profit Organization?

Through the generous contributions of our local neighbors and businesses, older adults in our county can have access to the resources and supports they need; so, they can live full and productive lives. Continuing this important work requires the support of the entire community.

On behalf of the Board, and more importantly the neighbors that we care for, I invite you to be a part of our Neighbors Network campaign. Your donation of $50, $100, $250 or more truly makes a difference. Or you could donate one of the items from the Neighbors Network Amazon Wish List. All contributions are tax deductible.

Your contribution means a great deal!
