About neighbors helping neighbors of amherst county



"He that have a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth his bread to the poor."~Proverbs 22:9




NHN was established in the fall of 2015 and began serving meals in May 2016.


Some other goals of NHN:


- Mobile Food Kitchen to reach the rural areas of the county

- Selective Food Warehouse, providing our “guests” the opportunity to Shop for their groceries.
- Resource Information Hub to connect those in need to other support organizations.

NHN has already partnered with several businesses, churches, and organizations to make the realty of a food kitchen in Amherst County come true. NHN is expecting to receive over 90% of its funding from the community and will only exist based on concern each individual has for his or her neighbor. NHN’s existence will truly come from Neighbors Helping Neighbors. The more volunteers and donations the more we can serve!
