Be A Neighbor

INTRODUCING

Communities Program

Creating a National Movement of Local Helpers Restoring Empathy and Engagement in America’s Communities

America is Hurting.

A global pandemic, coupled with an economic recession and social unrest have accelerated our societal fractures and brought them front and center to every American. Our communities have been left with a deficit of empathy, engagement, and agency.

But in crisis, there can be opportunity. The Be A Neighbor Campaign is mobilizing hundreds of thousands of helpers across our nation to give hope and love in their local communities. And now, YOU can bring the campaign to your community.
