Neighbors Helping Neighbors was established in 1999 as a way for Henrico County residents to support their neighbors in Woodman West and Hope Village Apartments, two local Section 8 public housing complexes. Glen Allen NHN’s mission is to provide literacy support and educational materials throughout the year and support parents with gift purchases for their children during the Christmas season. Woodman West has about 190 families and Hope Village has about 90 families. The families in these communities represent a variety of cultural backgrounds. One commonality is they each qualify for public housing. We see our program as a way of helping the parents and children in these families through the provision of clothing, toys and reading/learning materials.
