I have worked as a volunteer at Neighbor for 10 years or more. I see how people who have trouble dressing their children are able to find good looking clothing for their family members in order that they will be able to go to school and fit in with their friends. I have watched mothers come to the food bank and get healthy produce and canned goods that will feed their family members. I see how Neighbor to
Neighbor is reaching out to people in need who are living in an area of wealth all around them and trying to
survive and make a better life for themselves and their children under difficult circumstances. I feel that I can help this to happen by working as a volunteer in this nonprofit organization.
I am a volunteer in the Food Bank part of Neighbor to Neighbor. Here I have witnessed both the extreme dedication of the volunteers of N2N, and the surprising number of families who are hurting for food in what is considered a weathy community. The volunteers include students, men and women of faith coming from their places of worship, and others who just wish to serve their town and take care of the poor. The impact of the organizations and individuals who are so generous in supporting the Food drives is remarkable to witness. Volunteering is a part of life, make it a part of yours. I'm still there!!
Starting this past year in high school, I started volunteering at Neighbor to Neighbor. Neighbor to Neighbor gives free clothing and food to people in need in Greenwich, Stamford and Port Chester. What many people in this very affluent town don't realize, is that there are people in need so close to us. We take things like food and clothing for granted. Going to Neighbor to Neighbor, I feel so good knowing there is a place where those in need can come to find help.
Neighbor to Neighbor Neighbor is a clearinghouse for the distribution of free clothing and food to people with great need in Greenwich, Stamford and Port Chester. Our customers receive clothing they can be proud of and food that is nutritious in an environment where they can take their time and select the items that best fit their tastes. I find it very rewarding to help these people who would be struggling much more without our services.
