Where neighbours find their footing

Small moments can change a neighbour’s day. Your support helps a dad plan a holiday meal, ensures a senior receives monthly home deliveries, and reminds newcomer families that they deserve good food and dignity too.

This season, help more neighbours feel seen, supported, and cared for.

Coldest Night of the Year

Join us on Saturday, February 28th, for the annual Coldest Night of the year fundraising walk to raise vital support for individuals and families in our community.

Lead our community to a better quality of life.

Neighbour to Neighbour has been working to help Hamiltonians in need for almost 40 years. From our emergency food bank to educational and family supports to our Community Food Centre, Neighbour to Neighbour uses preventative measures and strategies to alleviate the burden of poverty in Hamilton.
