NeighborLink
There's a gap: neighbors needing a hand + neighbors willing to help.
Across the country, millions of homeowners -- such as seniors aging in place, individuals with disabilities, single parents, veterans -- struggle with home maintenance needs that prevent them from living safely and with dignity. Even simple projects like yardwork or minor repairs go unmet for months or years.
Meanwhile, neighbors in the community are willing to help but don't know where their assistance is most needed.
So, we created NeighborLink.
NeighborLink is a FREE web platform that connects neighbors facing home maintenance and repair challenges with neighbors willing to help. Our online network is available to anyone who needs help or is ready to serve.
Need a hand with home maintenance, yardwork, or other tangible projects? Please click the button below and submit our simple form OR call 844-377-5717 to talk to us directly.
Our Story
Since 2003, NeighborLink has perfected a model that makes simple acts of service...simple. We focus on creating connections, providing a conduit that surfaces the needs of the vulnerable and enables practical, neighbor-to-neighbor expressions of God's love.
Through volunteers' tangible acts of kindness, we help neighbors facing challenges -- due to home maintenance needs, physical limitations, or other life circumstances -- live with dignity, joy, and connection. The connections create meaningful change, one act of kindness at a time.

Why?
Those who have been forgiven much, love much. NeighborLink was founded on grace and forgiveness. Both compel us to love God and others in tangible, neighborly ways. More often than not, volunteers are led toward the margins of our city where needs often go unseen.
