ABOUT NEIGHBOUR TO NEIGHBOUR
The harsh reality is, not everyone in Hamilton has the same access to resources and opportunities. This leaves so many in our community with less choice and less control over their lives, limiting their ability to fully develop their potential. It affects their physical and mental health, making them feel stressed, trapped and alone.
Neighbour to Neighbour has been responding to these issues for over 30 years. We are continually listening, evaluating our impact and evolving to meet community needs with qualified staff and volunteers. We are connecting people to our emergency and preventative supports as well as helping them to navigate resources because we know that a person with community behind them can thrive.
The result is an improved quality of life. The impact is that people have power over their lives and feel healthy, included and supported. Without these supports, community suffers, and people are left to struggle alone.
