Volunteer Spotlight
“I started volunteering with Hello Neighbor because I'm a big fan of their mission. As an immigrant and transplant to Pittsburgh, I wanted to do my part in welcoming immigrants and refugees to the city. Volunteering has been very rewarding for me. It's very satisfying to be able to both make a difference, and to meet others that share the same passion.”

“The benefits of volunteering for Hello Neighbor has been immeasurable, both personally and for the community. As a volunteer, I am humbled by the amount of kindness and respect they have for my time, while offering those same attributes to the new community members they serve. They have organized their volunteering goals in a way that makes it easy for anyone to get involved. From donations to mentorship programs, each level of volunteering is thoughtful and well organized. Hello Neighbor gives me hope for our city's future, as it continues to build a stronger community.”

“We first signed up to do the mentorship program with Hello Neighbor in 2019 because we were new to the area and wanted to connect with other families, and we haven’t stopped volunteering since! We love that there are volunteer opportunities that our whole family can do together to welcome new neighbors to Pittsburgh. We value teaching our children to do good in the world even in the smallest ways like through cleaning a house for a refugee family to move into, preparing a meal for a new mom in the community, or helping distribute school supplies — and Hello Neighbor provides so many opportunities for us to put that value into action. We can all be good neighbors to those who are new and just need a friendly face to say, 'You are welcome here!'"

“Eighteen months ago my husband, David, and I moved to Pittsburgh to meet new people and embrace the challenges of getting to know a new city. One of the first things we did was buy the December copy of Pittsburgh Magazine, which outlined “21 reasons to Love Pittsburgh.” Hello Neighbor was #11! It sounded wonderful so I immediately registered to volunteer and the rest is history. Through my assignments delivering meals, setting up households, and space- planning storage spaces at the Hello Neighbor offices, I’ve met and worked with scores of fabulous staff, dedicated volunteers and lovely clients. There are many reasons we love our new hometown; Hello Neighbor is at the top of our list.”
