Neighbor Connect is a functional connection of one neighbor’s skill to another neighbor’s need through databasing and categorizing the services volunteers can offer our community.
Today when people are struggling, they often turn to impersonal bureaucratic systems for help. Not that long ago, neighbors were the first to respond to need in their communities. We believe it should be like that again. It's why we created Neighbor Connect.
If you would like to use your skills and gifts, please join us in meeting the needs and blessing those in the Joplin community and the surrounding areas. We will contact you periodically when someone comes to us with a need that fits your abilities and schedule.
Connie, a Joplin resident, has recently had complications from a surgery. She is currently learning to re-walk, and has weekly doctor's appointments. Connie is unable to drive and could use some assistance getting to and from the doctor's office. She is also unable to do some of her housework. If you would like to assist Connie, please contact casie@wateredgardens.org or 417.623.6030 ext. 121.
Julie, a disabled Joplin resident, needs help with a yard clean up. She has a fence row of brush that needs cleaned out and hauled to her brush pile. If you are interested in leading a group for this project, please contact casie@wateredgardens.org or 417.623.6030 ext. 121.
