Partnerships

The Neighborhood Family, as a platform for helping the community, we partner with local churches and business to make a significant difference in the families and individuals that seek assistance from the center. Our role in these partnerships varies from advocate to grant maker, fiduciary to fundraising ally.  In any and each case, we as board members are able to achieve an outcome that is greater than what any single entity would have accomplished working alone. Our efforts are in close coordination with the strategic counterpoint within the system.
