Overview
Mission
Neighbors helping neighbors on the main line stands in the gap for underrepresented families in lower merion township and the vicinity, while educating and reforming the entities that serve them, creating an inclusive community where everyone has the tools they need to thrive. Enriching the lives of 1,600+ neighbors each year, nhn has become the soft landing of solutions for those who fall between the cracks of standard safety net systems. Nhn offers a holistic approach to human services through it's three primary programs.
What it reported doing in 2024
Food security- everyone deserves to know from where their next meal will come and low income should not equate to low nutrition or quality. 1. Weekly food distribution-every thursday, nhn uses a discreet, contactless delivery system to distribute fresh produce, meats and other food items sourced from several local food producers to approximately 130 local households. 2. Saturday pop up-each week nhn is open from 11am-2pm for neighbors to "shop" for additional food, basic needs and household items, clothing (as available) and more. 3. Growing together: community garden-as a part of a larger program, nhn's garden project was launched in 2024 to encourage a community-wide shift in mindset to healthy options by offering readily accessible produce. Nhn provides a much needed space within walking distance, for some of our neediest residents to eat, share, co-create, and grow. 4. Senior basic needs assistance-nhn provides a monthly, contactless delivery of toiletries and basic need items monthly to all 53 units at the low-income senior living facility, greenfield commons. 5. Benefit support-nhn provides referrals to community members who are unaware of or unable to apply for local, county, and state resources. Our team personally helps local families access a myriad of benefits including snap, wic, and more. 6. Summer meals-in the summer of 2024, nhn and lmsd nutritional services provided healthy lunch and snacks to children throughout the summer.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
