Good Neighbor Days: One Easy Way to Connect with Your Community

Written By Marie Burrus

We're joining forces with other Houston organizations to support Good Neighbor Days, an easy way to connect with and serve in your community. It will bring together people from all over the city to serve those who need it most.

All throughout April “Good Neighbor Days” will gather volunteers at serve sites across Houston to do good for others and uplift our communities. This coordinated effort helps make serving simple so you can focus on the task at hand and the people around you.

Get more information, host a site, or sign up to serve at goodneighbordays.org.
