When we know our neighbors, everyone benefits. We feel safer, healthier, and more connected. Studies show that talking to six neighbors can improve your well-being, keep you strong in tough times, and help you prepare for emergencies. Let’s build stronger communities, one hello at a time.
I pledge to meet 6 of my neighbors
Make the pledge to meet six neighbors. You’ll get a free toolkit from California Volunteers filled with ideas to help you connect.
