Our Collective Impact

Together with our incredible community of neighbors, supporters and friends we’ve accomplished so much good in the city of Pittsburgh. This is just the beginning.

Building Bridges With Our Newest Neighbors

We have been able to accomplish great things since our founding in 2017, and none of it would be possible without you. Every dollar you donate, cookie you purchase, community dinner you attend, and every minute you spend getting to know your new neighbors and becoming an advocate is a step forward on the journey from surviving to thriving for refugees and their families.


"Over the past year, Hello Neighbor has experienced an incredible journey of resilience and unwavering commitment to our mission. We have faced numerous challenges within the ever-evolving landscape of refugee resettlement. However, through it all, our collective determination to make a meaningful difference has shone brightly.

I am immensely proud to share that Hello Neighbor's impact has been made possible by your steadfast support. I hope this report inspires you, not only by the progress we've made but also by the immense potential of our collective impact."

A Bright Future Ahead

We have big dreams for making Pittsburgh a place everyone can feel at home. In order to see those dreams come to life, we’ve laid out a plan to help improve the lives of more refugee families and build on the mission of Hello Neighbor over the next three years.

Testimonials

“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.”
— Delphine, Mentee

“Through Hello Neighbor, my family has mentored a refugee family and been completely supported in the process. I say mentored, but really we've just become friends.”
— Kendra, Mentor

“The idea of Hello Neighbor is very wonderful because it breaks that barrier between the Middle Eastern and the American people. I think it should be in every state.”
— Dalal, Mentee


By The Numbers

Within our six years of operation we have been able to make significant strides in creating a more welcoming Pittsburgh and building confidence in our newest neighbors as they rebuild their lives. Take a walk with us down memory lane and explore our impact through the years.
