Nov 4 - Gary Roberts, President of Tempe Neighbors Helping Neighbors (TNHN), explained the origins, purpose, and goals of the program. Tempe Neighbors Helping Neighbors was formed to provide assistance to low income and frail Tempe residents who could not maintain or stay in their own homes without help. TNHN seeks to provide such residents with volunteers who will assist with yard and landscape maintenance, minor home repair and minor modifications. By providing assistance, volunteers will help residents maintain their home's appearance, safety, accessibility and quality of life. TNHN began modestly in 2009 and is now a 501(c) 3 non-profit that works closely with Tempe Community Council. It is a membership organization that is part of a nationwide movement that is connected by the Village to the Village Network to share best practices, procedures, and documents. TNHN considers itself a concierge service for the community.
