At Neighborhood House, we believe in creating a space where our clients feel like they're part of a second family. This winter, we're bringing the warmth and love of a second home to life through our Give a Gift event.
What is Give a Gift?
Give a Gift ensures every one of our clients, including their families and caregivers, experiences the joy of giving and receiving during this special time of year. Our goal is to make Neighborhood House feel like a second home for all, where the spirit of community thrives.
Who Benefits from Give a Gift?
- Children in our programs, 15 months to 12 years: They receive 3 gifts of their choice, valued at approximately $100 per child.
- Adult clients aged 18 and above, mainly elderly and/or disabled: They receive 3 gifts of their choice, valued at approximately $100 per adult.

Library Wish List
The Neighborhood House Library is a place where everyone can learn, grow, and thrive. Our librarian, Jai, takes time to understand what the children enjoy and uses their input to help shape our book wish list. We’re also beginning a collaborative art mural project. Staff and clients of all ages will contribute, and once complete, it will help make the library even more welcoming! You’ll find supplies for the mural and many of our most-wanted books on our Amazon wish list. If possible, we encourage supporting local bookstores as well.
