Hello Neighbors,
We've had a surprising and eye opening first month of 2019.
Surprising, because we never expected to become involved in such an outpouring of generosity and caring. Eye opening, because we saw it through the eyes of those who helped. You will see some of it below.
Let's make this our year of kindness.
Enjoy.
Lynne Cameron
Executive Director

NEIGHBORS WITH PASSION FOR OTHERS
Sometimes we have a person come into our Neighbors 4 Neighbors family, who has such a passion for helping, it amazes us. Steven G is that person. When government workers were furloughed, he stepped up to fund a food distribution for 1,000 families in partnership with our friends at Farm Share. It was an incredible Saturday as dozens of volunteers, including a team from Interiors by Steven G, packaged everything from Pork Chops to beans and rice, to fresh veggies and fruit.
We are honored to be working with Steven and his enthusiastic team. He has such a kind heart and is dedicated to making the community that he lives and works in better. Whenever he has a chance to help, he never hesitates. He believes he is very fortunate and it's privilege to give back as often as he can. We promise you'll be hearing more about him in the future.

Neighbors 4 Neighbors is a non-profit organization 501 (c) 3 originally created by CBS4 in 1992 in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. As South Florida recovered, CBS4 made a commitment to make Neighbors an integral part of its community service program. Using the power of television to reach people who want to help and by forging relationships with important community and business leaders, Neighbors has evolved into a valuable resource for individuals and families in our community facing critical needs.
