New Neighbor Collective
Join a community of generous monthly givers on a mission to build a more welcoming world for all.
The New Neighbor Collective is a passionate community of neighbors, advocates and world changers on a mission to transform Pittsburgh and the United States into a place we can all proudly call home. We believe in a world where every refugee and immigrant has the opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity and respect, and that begins with us.
Strength In Numbers
Through the support of dedicated neighbors like you, we have served over 1500 refugees and immigrants from more than 30 countries of origin over the past 7 years.
We’ve watched refugee and immigrant parents gain confidence to enter the workforce and find assurance in knowing that they're providing for their families. We’ve supported new and expecting mothers in their journey through motherhood as they discover the courage to dream big dreams for the future once again.
We know our impact is only as strong as our community and that true change starts here and now with us.

"My family and I were feeling discouraged because we had no one to rely on or be friends with. With Hello Neighbor we feel we have family in the United States, not only [our mentor] Nicole, but the whole program."

Join Our Community Of World Changers
Our community of monthly givers is made up of individuals from all backgrounds - they are parents, young professionals, students, CEOs, small business owners, teachers and everything in between. They can be found throughout Pittsburgh and around the country and they all have one thing in common - their unstoppable pursuit of a better, more welcoming world.
"One of the things that has really stuck with me was the pistachios—they told us about their memories of walking around Aleppo when the pistachios are in season you can literally hear their shells popping open and there’s this chorus of pistachios…we think of this as this war torn place and there is real beauty and life there."
– Cohort 7 Mentor
“She took us to her work and showed us where she works and what she does. This is new to us as a culture, the fact that she as a woman could be that independent, that strong and persevere. She told me that if you put a goal in mind, you can reach it. I never learned to read and write, but now I am going twice a week to learn because she showed me I could.“
– Cohort 7 Mentee
“Ruth was very grateful for the meal train. When I met her she was really struggling and her quality of life was just not what any mother deserves. In her situation, warm meals, especially those from home, as well as clean and comfortable clothing provided some solace and an embrace from the community here in Pittsburgh. She knows there are people here that care about her and her babies’ wellbeing and I really appreciate that.“
