Good Neighbor Month

Good neighbors make great communities!!!

September 28th marks Good Neighbor Day.  The purpose is to encourage people to take action in their communities, unite neighborhoods and spotlight those making a difference. It’s a reminder that each of us plays a role in strengthening our community and making it a better place to live.

Last year, State Farm along with Disney and many of its affiliates (GMA, Marvel) promoted Good Neighbor month for the full month of September.

Against the backdrop of busy schedules, take time to show interest in the family next door or across the street.  These lasting friendships with neighbors help promote peace and harmony in the neighborhood.

What can I do?

• Just say Hello:  it really is that simple!  Take the 1st step and introduce yourself.  Engage with those you see in the community and start up a conversation with a simple hello!

• Lend a hand: Help your neighbors with a chore.   Help them mow the lawn or with other yardwork, baby sit their kids and/or pets , wash their car.

• Stay attentive: Keep your eyes and ears open. Know what’s happening with your neighbors. Be aware so the community stays safe and secure.

• Share a meal: it could be a fresh batch of home baked cookies, a homemade meal or ordered food.  Invite them over or send it to them!
