Beyond our core programs, House of Neighborly Service extends care in many meaningful ways—thanks to the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers. We provide birthday bags to help local children celebrate their special day, pass-through funds to assist families facing catastrophic medical needs, and offer job and financial coaching to help individuals build stability and independence.
