How to become a member of Good Neighbor
Is your faith group or organization missing from the list above? It’s easy to become a member of Good Neighbor, and we’d love to have you do so! Member groups agree to support Good Neighbor financially and are invited to help with fundraising and community events.
Benefits of being a member organization
- Your assistance dollars can go further, because they are combined with those of many other groups and are increased through grants, fundraisers, matching gifts, and donations.
- We have a full-time Director who is connected to related services in the area.
- You can participate in our special fundraisers, such as our annual combined choir concert in the Fall.
- By pooling our funds, we reduce the need for low-income individuals to travel to multiple faith communities all over Story County to receive help.
- Good Neighbor’s proximity to downtown Ames and its bus system, Story County General Assistance, The Bridge Home, Food at First, and other related services makes us easy to find and convenient for clients to get to our office.
