Neighbors Helping Neighbors (New)

Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN) partners with local agencies and community groups to support individuals and families in need. From providing meals and clothing to organizing school supplies, NHN volunteers work together to make a tangible difference in our community.

WHAT | We collaborate with local agencies and community groups to provide essential items for unhoused and economically disadvantaged neighbors in the San Jose area.

HOW | The support we provide comes from goods and services donated by our members and contributions to ISPF (NHN) – a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

LEARN MORE | NHN meets on the first Monday of most
months at AAUW San Jose Branch headquarters, 1165
Minnesota Ave., San Jose, CA 95125.
