Who We Are
We are a nonprofit organization based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania committed to supporting our newest neighbors, recently resettled refugee and immigrant families. Since our founding in 2017, we have provided support to over 500 refugees and immigrants from more than 15 countries of origin, helping them feel more comfortable and confident in their new lives.

What We Do
Hello Neighbor supports more than 100 refugee and immigrant families a month providing family mentorship, mom-to-mom support, online tutoring for youth, and essential item distributions for families in need. We continue to respond to the needs of our community and connect refugees and immigrants to the support systems and resources they need to thrive.
Why We Do It
There are over 26,000 refugees and immigrants in Pennsylvania grappling to navigate new cities, languages and cultural norms. After their initial 3 months in the U.S. they are no longer eligible for resettlement support and are left on their own. That's where Hello Neighbor steps in.
