A big impact in just one year
A helping hand for the homebound
Established in 1980, Your Neighbors is a nonprofit comprised of volunteers from area churches, synagogues, businesses, social services, and civic organizations who help support the homebound in greater Utica, NY. The majority of our clients are frail, elderly and/or disabled, and often lack the support of friends and family. Our volunteers serve those in our community who are the most vulnerable and in need of assistance to ensure their health and well-being are maintained with a sufficient level of independence.
Nourishing our community
Our meal service operates much like a food bank, except all of our nutritious meals are pre-prepared, packaged and frozen for reheating when needed. Our dedicated volunteers prepare individual meals, which are then stored in area freezer locations. The client need only to reheat the meals to enjoy a healthy, home-cooked dinner. Using the federal guidelines of $2 per prepared meal with an adjusted $1 per soup, the cost totals $9,538 annually.
