Neighbor to Neighbor Service committee
|
What is it? Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) is the community service arm of Salemtown Neighbors Neighborhood Association. What do you do? One of the best parts about living in a neighborhood is always having a friend nearby to reach out to in a time of need. N2N helps connect neighbors with a helping hand both through organized services and through our neighborhood volunteers. We also help match people who wish to volunteer in the community with organizations seeking assistance. We have an ongoing relationship with our zoned elementary school where we participate in special events and collect supplies year round, we host events for neighborhood children, such as the annual egg hunt. We also have a program to provide meals to neighbors who are ill, had a baby or could otherwise use a hand. So far in 2016 we have hosted an egg hunt for neighborhood children, a summer reading day at Morgan Park, sponsored a school supply drive to benefit Buena Vista Elementary School and participated in Night Out Against Crime. Want to participate or let us know about a specific need? The N2N Committee meets roughly on a monthly basis and host volunteer opportunities throughout the year. We post updates on NextDoor and you can find out about our next event or request a service by sending an email to president@salemtownneighbors.org for more information. Interested in finding a place to plug in? Hands on Nashville is a great place to find your perfect volunteer job. Their easy to navigate website will have an option for you if you are interested in helping out for a couple of hours or every week. |
