A Focused Scope for Safe, Effective Support

NHN provides specific, non-clinical, and non-technical assistance to residents, with a focus on:

• Outdoor & Beautification: Including mowing, yard cleanup, leaf and brush removal, trash pickup, and seasonal tasks like clearing walkways to improve safety and curb appeal.
• Indoor & Light Home Tasks: Such as changing light bulbs and smoke detector batteries, light organizing, and short, simple fixes like tightening screws to improve daily functioning.
• Community Connection: Volunteers will help refer residents to other community resources and partners when a need falls outside the NHN scope.

To maintain the safety and integrity of the program for both residents and volunteers, NHN adheres to strict program boundaries. It does not provide medical care, emergency services, professional technical or licensed trades (such as electrical, plumbing, or roofing), hazardous tasks, financial assistance, or recurring housekeeping.

Community-Driven Governance and Accountability

Neighbor Helping Neighbor is governed by the Greater Taylor Community Foundation Board of Directors, with program oversight delegated to the Foundation's Housing Impact Council. This structure ensures that all NHN policies, procedures, and service boundaries align with the Foundation’s Mission, Vision, and Values, while maintaining responsible stewardship. Success for NHN will be measured by increased neighbor-to-neighbor connection, safe and consistent volunteer engagement, and positive feedback from both residents and community partners.

The Greater Taylor Community Foundation invites all Taylor-area residents, businesses, and organizations to be a part of this transformative initiative. A stronger community is built one simple act of kindness at a time.
