Help us help your Neighbor In Need - Gwen Jones

Neighbor in Need East Atlanta, founded in 2010, is a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) and functions under the umbrella of the East Atlanta Community Association (EACA). The Neighbor in Need initiative strengthens the East Atlanta community by providing emergency home repairs for low-income elderly homeowners. This initiative is a grassroots, relationship-based, block-by-block effort to improve seniors’ lives. As you know, many elderly residents with low and fixed incomes cannot afford major repairs to their roof, HVAC or plumbing system – parts of the home that significantly contribute to one’s quality of life. This initiative supports East Atlanta’s seniors, maintains the neighborhood’s diversity and builds community among neighbors.

Right now we are running out of funds and have many projects that need funding. We complete about 50 projects annually that, on average, total $25,000.  Since our inception in 2010, Neighbor in Need has completed over 150 projects valued at $175,000.
