Our History
Neighborhood Connections is a non-profit organization offering advocacy, education, and social services.We proudly serve the communities of Andover, Bondville, Chester, Jamaica, Landgrove, Londonderry, Peru, South Londonderry, Weston, Windham, and Winhall.
The grassroots agency opened its doors in 2009 out of a need for innovative and cost effective social outreach in the underserved populations of area mountain towns. We respond to community-identified needs with a range of social services and health-related programs, working closely with public and private resources at federal, state and local levels. Our services include connecting people with the resources they need including health education, counseling, crisis management and assisting individuals with navigation through social service systems. |
We Are:
Community Driven
Our programs and services are developed to identify and respond to the evolving needs of our communities
Community Supported
We are supported through the generosity of individual community members, partnering agencies, businesses, and foundations. Their support enables us to offer our services at no charge.
Community Grounded
Our dedicated crew of volunteers is integral to our daily operations. They work closely with our staff
to deliver services, and serve as ambassadors in the community.
Neighborhood Connections unequivocally and unconditionally rejects
racial injustice in our nation and our community.
We recognize that racial inequality is deeply rooted in our country's history and has had a sustained, devastating and disproportionate impact on Black and other communities of color. We stand in solidarity with local, national and global protesters speaking out against injustice and share their anger and desire for transformative change.
We are committed to the ongoing work of considering how our mission, our programs, our board, and our workplace can ensure that racism has no place in our agency, in those agencies with whom we partner, nor in the communities of which we are a part and whom we serve.
We firmly believe that no lives matter until all lives matter - including the lives of Black and other communities of color.
