Embracing Winter's Chill

As December unfolds and winter slowly moves in, we are continuing to further the collective effort to provide essential goods to those in need within our community. We were able to serve over 90 neighbors on December 9th at Heartside park! As usual, we gathered at The Community Church in Ada to make sandwiches and load up vehicles. Then we set off for Heartside park to distribute goods!

The response from our community this year has been truly inspiring with many donations of essential goods contributing to immediate relief. The items provided are necessities that everyone deserves access to, no strings attached. Beyond the tangible impact, our events serve to bring kindness and connection to our community. We strive to strike up conversations with our neighbors to ensure their needs are seen and heard.

Thanks to the successful collaboration between Neighbors 4 Neighbors, Mix 95.7's The Big Joe and Laura Show, Woodhouse Day Spa, Skyzone, Mayweather Boxing and Fitness, and Rebounderz, we are able to continue providing warm coats to our neighbors.
