Good Neighbors Home Repair

Did you know that over 60,000 people in New Castle County live in unsafe and unhealthy homes?  For 32 years, Good Neighbors has been providing critical home repairs for homeowners who cannot afford them. Last year we helped 581 families.  We repair and replace heaters and roofs, provide grab bars and wheelchair ramps, and fix unsafe electrical, plumbing, and flooring problems at no cost to the homeowner. We do not discriminate, and we will fix the home of any qualified low-income homeowner located in New Castle County. 

 

Please contact our office or visit our website at www.goodneighborshomerepair.org to sign up to volunteer. We have a service week for area businesses in the spring and in the fall where volunteers repair 2-3 homes in one week, and each summer we conduct week-long summer camps for youth groups to repair homes. These teens learn how to use tools, how to work in teams, and how important it is to give back. Other volunteer opportunities are available as well.

 

What is clear from the statistics is that there are more families in need in New Castle County than we have resources to help. But you can provide the funds to keep one family warm in the winter, dry in the summer, or safe and healthy all year round.  Your donation will go directly to a family in need and will provide a low-cost way to prevent homelessness and reduce emergency room visits. Please consider donating toward this critical community need. It impacts all of us. Thank you.
