About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to restore hope and dignity to qualified low-income homeowners by repairing their homes as an expression of our love for Jesus Christ.
About
In 2019 we repaired 134 homes helping over 545 people which included the elderly, single moms with kids and the disabled. We made homes safer for the elderly by repairing stairs and floors and installing bathrooms with grab bars and safe access. We made homes healthier for families by repairing leaking roofs and windows and stopping mold growth. We helped those with disabilities more easily get around by installing ramps, doors, and roll in showers. Most of this work was done by over 518 volunteers who gained a better understanding of the needs of the community and a feeling of contributing in a meaningful way. This included 70 high school students who spent a week repairing homes during our two summer youth camps. This repair activity takes the crushing burden of expensive home repairs off the backs of these families so that they don't have to choose between food and medicine or getting the roof fixed. Homelessness decreases as these homeowners can now stay in their homes. In addition, blight is reduced, property values go up and the neighboring community is enhanced. As a result of the work of Good Neighbors, these low-income families are now safer, healthier and more hopeful.
