Neighbor to Neighbor Outreach

Neighbor to Neighbor is a nonprofit on South Blount Street working in Southeast Raleigh. It comes alongside neighbors through mentoring relationships, supporting people as they pursue education and work toward their full potential. Its motto is Helping Neighbors Thrive.

The organization started in 1994, when a small group began talking with mothers living in Walnut Terrace, a public housing community in Southeast Raleigh, with the aim of bringing hope to a neglected part of the city. It has been doing that same work for 25 years now.
