Discover and meet needs in your own community by joining Neighbor Linkup.

Local agencies (such as Impact NW, VA, Southwest Washington Agency for Aging and Disablities, DSHS and others), churches, apartment managers, friends, family and neighbors contact us at our call center, post needs on our website or visit us in person with needs they have discovered. Our trained Project Coordinators make personal contact with the recipient to confirm their need and determine scope and requirements of the project.

If you know of a need, please let us know!

People that care come from many places including local organizations, churches and businesses and the house next door. They share their lives by offering time, energy and skill to solve practical problems and meet real needs. Our diverse volunteers come together as part of a movement that is sweeping through our community connecting neighbors. When volunteers register on the Neighbor Link Up website, their location and skill sets are matched with previously approved projects.

Our robust technology combines a customized database system with Google Maps, Facebook and Twitter. Your skill set and location are matched to approved projects in your area. Each project goes through three steps before it is considered "approved" and ready for a work crew.

First, a trained Project Coordinator evaluates the job to confirm needs, safety, size and scope, skill sets and materials.

Second, any finances needed are secured through donation.

Third, materials are gathered and volunteers are mobilized for a work-day (or days).

Projects move forward when a Project Coordinator takes on the challenge. These are the superheroes in our community. Construction skill is not required, just a heart to connect people and pay attention to the details.

Over and over, we find that what starts as a practical need being met by volunteers with big hearts develops into shared life and life change. Recipients turn out to be servants and volunteers turn out to be recipients. Projects provide a context to slow down, rub shoulders, pull slivers, sweat, sing, share stories and watch lives change right before your eyes. When it's all over, no one can tell who was blessed the most. We hope this happens every time and encourage you to keep your eyes, ears and heart receptive to it.
