Hello Neighbors,
Happy 2019 Everyone!
If you are a fan of social media, you have probably seen lots of resolutions and wishes for the coming year. Many seem to focus on kindness. That's our greatest asset at Neighbors 4 Neighbors...your kindness and willingness to share your time talents and resources with those in need. We even have a volunteer website that matches your particular skills, with one of our nonprofit partners who needs just that. We know that Helping Feels Good.
What a wonderful year for Adopt a Family 4 the Holidays. 140 caseworkers from 27 nonprofits in Miami Dade, Broward and Monroe submitted 537 families to be helped. Thanks to you, we did it!!! 537 families, consisting of 808 adults and 1,477 children, had a holiday to remember. More importantly, they realized that someone cares. A huge thank you to our sponsors and those who created special experiences for families. Publix, MOD Pizza, Hofman's Chocolates, BBX Capitol, our CBS4 family, our Entercom Radio family, the Beauty Anatomy Institute and most of all, YOU.
On behalf of the entire staff and Board of Directors of Neighbors 4 Neighbors, we wish you a happy, healthy, peaceful year filled with random acts of kindness.
Lynne Cameron
Executive Director

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.
