Hestia provides assistance (6/23/2022) - Once again, Good Neighbors has been awarded a generous grant from Hestia Women’s Giving Circle to provide feminine hygiene products to our clients. The mission of Hestia Women’s Giving Circle is to promote economic self-sufficiency and well being for women and girls.
Hestia Grant provides feminine care products (4/22/2021) - Everyone needs food to survive. But feminine hygiene products are also a necessity that women need. Those necessities are expensive, and women can’t go about their daily lives without them. “We don’t want anyone to have to choose between buying food and feminine care products, or stay home from a job, doctor’s appointment, or school because they lack these necessities,” said Joanne Park-Foley, a Good Neighbors Food Pantry volunteer. The pantry has received donations of products in the past, but hoped to offer more. Hestia Women’s Giving Circle has made that possible through a grant to the pantry. Feminine care products of all kinds are now given every week to women and girls who need them. The mission of Hestia [...]

Good Neighbors Food Pantry celebrates its five-year anniversary! (9/24/2020) - Five years ago, on September 22, 2015, we opened our doors to our neighbors in need. We served 42 families that day, affirming the need we have in our area. In 2015, we couldn’t have predicted, or even dreamed, the situation we would face in 2020. But from the very beginning, Good Neighbors has been built on the generous support of the community and the dedication and hard work of our passionate volunteers. This put us in a good position to deal with the current challenges of the pandemic. With compassion for our neighbors who were and are struggling with additional burdens, and concern for their safety as well as the safety of our volunteers, we changed our whole system [...]
Good Neighbors continues to serve families in need (3/29/2020) - Good Neighbors is committed to do its part in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 while continuing to serve those in need. We plan to do everything we can to continue to provide food for our neighbors in need. Over the last two weeks the pantry served 124 families. Instead of coming into the pantry, families receive a pre-assembled box of food, including fresh produce and frozen meat. Thanks to our generous community, we have been receiving donations and offers of help. Items currently most needed by the pantry are: packs of individual string cheese and other non-sweet snacks for children; tuna fish; soups; and shelf-stable milk. Items can be dropped off at the pantry on Mondays from noon to 3 [...]
