Neighbor-to-Neighbor is a California Volunteers Network designed to strengthen communities through social connections. We help to bring neighbors together to engage locally on community needs, including climate action and disaster response.

Welcome Neighbor

Every Californian is a neighbor, and when neighbors know each other, communities thrive. Knowing at least six neighbors is associated with improving your sense of health and well-being, and helps communities be better connected, more resilient in and prepared for disasters.

Check in on your neighbors!

In emergencies, those closest to you are often those who need help most immediately. Check on your neighbors, especially if they are elderly and/or high risk.

  1. Exchange contact information (address + phone number)
  2. Help make sure they have what they need
  3. Ensure your neighbors are signed up for alerts: ready.ca.gov
