Help us reach our goals of $20,000 on Giving Tuesday and $80,000 by December 31st, 2026. Every dollar donated will be DOUBLED up to $20,000 thanks to a generous match from a local family foundation.
A strong community is built by the people who show up for one another. It's built through shared experiences, meaningful connections, and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to build a safe, stable, and successful life.
At Hello Neighbor, we've seen what's possible when people come together. Since our founding in 2017, we've grown alongside the refugee and immigrant families we serve, expanding our programs and adapting to meet their changing needs.
Today, as cuts to essential benefits and changes to federal policies create new challenges for our neighbors, that collective commitment is more important than ever. With your support, we can continue responding to emerging needs, strengthening our services, and building a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Be part of what comes next. Give today to help us continue growing alongside our neighbors.
Building a New Life, Together
In their own words, a family from Syria shares their journey to safety and the life they've built in Pittsburgh.
“Escaping the devastation of war in Syria with our young children was a journey driven by the desperate search for safety and hope. After finding temporary shelter in Turkey, we were blessed with the opportunity for resettlement in the United States—a turning point that restored our sense of security and peace.
Since our arrival, Hello Neighbor has been by our side every step of the way. From securing a comfortable home and navigating legal paperwork to helping us obtain driver's licenses and settling into daily life, their dedicated team never let us feel alone.
Today our family is thriving. Both my wife and I work hard, contribute to our community, and pay taxes with pride. Our children are receiving quality education, and our English skills have improved remarkably. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the warmth, safety, and endless support we have received here.”
Meeting the Moment, Together
Refugee and immigrant families across our region are facing mounting uncertainty. Recent Medicaid eligibility changes have left many without healthcare coverage, cuts to SNAP benefits are making it harder for families to put food on the table, and increased immigration enforcement continues to create fear and instability in our communities.
At Hello Neighbor, we're seeing the impact of these changes firsthand. As the needs of our neighbors grow more urgent, we're adapting our programs and strengthening our services to respond. No matter how circumstances change, we will continue showing up for our neighbors, and your support makes that possible.
Addressing Growing Food Insecurity
Recent cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) have left many refugee and immigrant families struggling to access nutritious food. For families already facing rising costs, losing these essential benefits creates another barrier to stability.
With your support, Hello Neighbor can continue connecting families with food resources and community assistance to help meet this growing need.
Supporting Families Through Medicaid Changes
Changes to Medicaid eligibility are putting healthcare coverage at risk for many refugee and immigrant families, threatening access to essential medical services.
As families navigate these changes, Hello Neighbor is helping our neighbors understand their options and connect with available resources. Your generosity helps us continue responding to new challenges and supporting families' health and stability.
Growing Alongside Our Neighbors
Since 2017, Hello Neighbor has grown from a single mentorship program into an organization offering a wide range of services to refugee and immigrant families.
As our community's needs evolve, so do we. This year, we've restructured our departments to strengthen collaboration and better connect our services, ensuring we can continue providing responsive, meaningful support to our neighbors.
Our Work Continues With You
Every gift helps us build a stronger future for our neighbors.
Your generosity allows Hello Neighbor to continue responding to changing needs, providing essential services, and standing alongside refugee and immigrant families as they build their lives in Pittsburgh.
