Everyone needs a helping hand or a friendly visit at some point. BAiP’s Neighbor-to-Neighbor program (N2N) offers the help of carefully selected neighborhood volunteers.
Here’s what N2N does, depending on volunteers’ availability:
- assists members with local errands (light grocery shopping, pharmacy, post office)
- escorts members to and from doctors, dentists, and hospitals
- accompanies members to BAiP events and home again afterwards
- meets members for conversation, walks in the neighborhood or park, or cultural outings
- checks in with members by telephone
- connects members to other BAiP resources that can provide technical help (the Tech Squad) or referrals to professionals and other service providers (the Resource Exchange)
The assistance that N2N volunteers provide is FREE to all BAiP members (although members are responsible for transportation costs).
If you need a helping hand or a friendly visit or are interested in joining our group of N2N volunteers, please call (212) 842-8831 ext. 1, or send an email to n2n@bloominplace.org.
