What Neighbors Helping Neighbors on the Main Line Inc does

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.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Food security- everyone deserves to know from where their next meal will come and low income should not equate to low nutrition or quality. Through contactless deliveries, nhn distributes fresh produce, meats and basic needs items weekly to 127 households in lower merion township and the immediate vicinity. We're able to discreetly serve hard-to-reach citizens who weren't using pantries for various reasons. Nhn staff members personally help local residents access a myriad of benefits including the supplemental nutrition assistance program (snap), wic, and more; and we take extra measures to provide additional food, baby formula and more until their benefits begin.
