News release from Neighbor Brigade

Milton Neighbor Brigade is a growing network of volunteers helping individuals and families in a temporary crisis. Our goal is to build a strong, caring network of neighbors throughout the Milton community to support others in times of need such as serious illness, injury, or other tragic event.

Participation in Milton Neighbor Brigade provides an opportunity for you to help friends and neighbors as they face significant challenges. Volunteers can give as little or as much time as they have available. There is no pressure or obligation and there is no cost to become a volunteer. As new needs arise, an email is automatically sent to all volunteers, and those who are able to participate can do so within the confines of their own schedules. Having volunteers preparing and delivering meals, going to the store, running errands, driving to and from the hospital for appointments, taking care of the family pet or offering a simple act of kindness is worth more than words can say.

We welcome new volunteers at any time. New volunteers can join by going to www.neighborbrigade.org/chapters/MiltonMA. Once registered, volunteers sign in to our volunteer site to view the kinds of outreach we do and also to view any open needs within our community.

When you or someone you know needs assistance from Milton Neighbor Brigade, contact Yunren Bolortuya at MiltonMA@neighborbrigade.org.

ABOUT NEIGHBOR BRIGADE

Neighbor Brigade was started in Wayland MA by two moms who were helped by friends and neighbors in their community as they went through cancer treatment in 2002. Upon remission they set out to help others. Their outreach then began to spread to other communities. Now in communities across Massachusetts, Neighbor Brigade has helped hundreds of individuals and families get back on their feet.
