Neighbors Helping Neighbors

It's a simple, old-fashioned idea that endures because we know it makes a community strong. While we may be reluctant to ask strangers for aid, we can ask our neighbors because we know we'd do the same thing for them. Neighbors offer a helping hand, giving support, encouragement, and preserving our dignity when we are most vulnerable. Neighbors helping neighbors is what Southeast Community Services is all about.

When was the last time a neighbor helped you? Maybe you borrowed a ladder to fix a loose shutter. Or maybe your neighbor with the snow blade shoveled your driveway after that big snowstorm. Neighbors can help each other in lots of ways-some big, some small. And different neighbors need different kinds of help.
