Neighbouring
[ney-ber-ing]
Verb
The act of safely reaching out to neighbours to make sure they are supported in a time of need
If you can make a few phone calls, help a senior order groceries online, or safely help in other ways, then sign-up to help out. As little as one phone call a day is all it takes.
If you would like someone to check-in on you, sign-up below. This can include help with groceries or delivery. A neighbour can help. Note that this is not a health line.
Nonprofits in our community have the experience and trust of our most vulnerable. If you are with a nonprofit and you feel we could work together, please connect with us.

How Does it Work?
Identify
The first step is finding our neighbours. This means safely knocking on their doors, calling them, reaching out to them through social media, and recruiting volunteers to help engage with them.
Connect
Once we have identified our neighbours, we want to stay in touch with them. This includes phone calls, video chats, email, or social media reach outs to them.
Support
For some neighbours, the voice of someone who cares is all that they need. Others may need help ordering groceries. Others might want to know how they can make use of their unique skillset in this time of need.
