NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS OF COLLEGE PARK (NHN-CP) RELIES ON VOLUNTEERS IN OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP OUR SENIORS STAY IN THEIR HOMES AS LONG AS THEY CAN. WE DO NOT REPLACE OR DUPLICATE GOVERNMENT SERVICES OR FAMILY ASSISTANCE, BUT SEEK TO PROVIDE A SOURCE OF ASSISTANCE WHEN THOSE AVENUES ARE NOT AVAILABLE. AS NEIGHBORS, WE CAN CREATE A SAFETY NET FOR OUR SENIORS BY HELPING THEM WITH TRANSPORTATION, HOUSEHOLD AND YARD CHORES, SMALL HOUSE REPAIRS, FRIENDLY VISITS, AND PHONE CHECK-INS.

Mission Statement
NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS OF COLLEGE PARK (NHN-CP) WAS ESTABLISHED TO CREATE A COMMUNITY OF VOLUNTEERS TO ACT AS A SAFETY NET FOR OUR AGING RESIDENTS TO ALLOW THEM TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES.
Description
Neighbors Helping Neighbors of College Park (NHN-CP) offers a community of volunteers who act as a safety net for our aging residents and people with disabilities, to allow them to stay in their homes for as long as they like. Volunteers do this by helping members with transportation, household and yard chores, small home repairs, friendly visits and phone check-ins, and technology assistance. These are everyday activities that may have become difficult due to physical or cognitive limitations.
NHN-CP is part of a national Senior Village movement of grassroots, volunteer-driven community organizations. We don't replace or duplicate government services or family assistance, but instead seek to provide a resource when those avenues of assistance are not available.
Membership is free; contact our Coordinator, Paula Greene, at 301-222-3434 or by email to be added to the list and to request assistance.
Signing up to volunteer is simple: Fill out a brief form available on our website and we will be in touch soon!
