“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’…’I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’” ~ Matthew 35-36, 40

Why Get Involved In National Good Neighbor Day?
“Pursue the well-being of the city… Pray to the Lord on its behalf, for when it thrives, you will thrive!” ~ Jeremiah 29:7
National Good Neighbor Day was established to reinforce the relationships that form the fabric of our communities. It is a day to highlight and inspire good neighbor activities, simple gatherings to share food, fellowship and fun while re-kindling friendships; meeting current neighbors; welcoming new neighbors; and promoting conversation around building relationships and activities to meet the needs of people within our neighborhoods.
Bringing neighbors together builds connectedness. And connectedness builds more satisfying, self-sufficient and effective communities that strengthen our nation as a whole.
National Neighborhood Day is celebrated in neighborhoods across the country each year on the third Sunday in September.
