From Beds to Brighter Futures: Uplifting Families with Neighbors Helping Neighbors

 

The Putnam County Charter School System is immensely grateful for our partnership with Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN) and for the exceptional support they have provided to our students and their families. This collaboration has played a crucial role in uplifting our community by offering essential services to those in greatest need. Founded in 2020, Neighbors Helping Neighbors is a local service organization that serves individuals and families in Greene and Putnam Counties. Their mission is to offer a "hand-up" rather than a handout, empowering recipients to achieve long-term stability and success.

 

NHN is dedicated to addressing critical needs, focusing on three primary services. First, they conduct urgent home repairs to ensure safe and secure living conditions. Second, they assist with vehicle repairs or replacements to provide reliable transportation, enabling families to maintain employment and access essential services. Third, their "Beds for Kidz" program provides beds to children who do not have one of their own, ensuring they have a comfortable and healthy environment for sleep. NHN serves a diverse group of individuals, including older adults, children, single working mothers and their children, military veterans, and developmentally and/or physically challenged individuals, as well as low-income families.

 

In a relatively short time, NHN has significantly impacted the community by building and delivering hundreds of beds to children in need, completing numerous home improvement projects, and repairing or replacing several vehicles for families. Through their dedicated efforts, NHN continues to provide invaluable support, fostering a stronger and more resilient community. We are proud to work alongside them and look forward to the continued success of our partnership for the betterment of our students and their families.
