TODAY, the Neighborhood House maintains the same mission it had in the early 20th Century which is to offer "Recreational Opportunities and a Welcoming Fireside" (as noted in a letter to the community dated March 15, 1930). Listed below are some of the programs that enhance personal growth and health and foster a sense of community.

Neighborhood House, and those that participate in its activities, have a long tradition of neighborliness. A few examples of how we reach out to the community include:
|
Neighborhood House maintains a limited supply of donated wheelchairs, walkers, bath stools and other aids to keep neighborhood residents independent and ambulatory. Those items are loaned, free of charge, to members of the community upon request. Because of limited storage space surplus items are donated, wherever possible, to other worthy causes. This has included various programs that work to improve life in needy countries such as the Ukraine and Central America. We welcome donations of usable items.
|
Each winter holiday season local schools and organizations such as the Girl Scouts as well as individual donors, drop off donations of non-perishable food. Neighborhood staff and volunteers, including students from the local EF language schools, assemble and distribute 10 - 15 holiday baskets to needy seniors and families in the community. We also offer seasonal flu shots to community members 65 and over. The Neighborhood House receives no payment for this event but provides it as a service to the community.
