Description & Services
DescriptionThe purpose of NeighbourLink-Northumberland is to help church members respond to the basic biblical call: "Love your Neighbour" by demonstrating concern for those in need by helping wherever possible. NeighbourLink seeks the root of problems that lead to calls for help so that long-term solutions can be found. Significantly, it also enables widely different denominations to work together on a project at the heart of this basic Christian message. NeighbourLink mobilizes a network of local church volunteers to meet the practical needs of their neighbours. Some of the services offered are: shopping assistance, helping new mothers, tutoring, translation assistance, assistance with meals, plan menus, transportation to local medical appointments, visiting/reading to shut-ins (friendly visiting), assistance filling in forms, budgeting assistance, assist household repairs, yard work for disabled, and many services not already covered by other agencies. They do not give out money.
