On February 5, 2025, members of the Greenwich Rotary Club dedicated their time to Neighbor to Neighbor, a nonprofit that provides food, clothing, and essential support to local residents. The volunteer effort was part of the club’s ongoing commitment to community service and engagement.
Club members Carrie Bundock, Agathe Likoba, Shashi Dayal, and Sally Parris were welcomed by Executive Director Brent Hill and staff member Elvis Ruiz, who provided insight into the organization’s daily operations. Volunteers assisted with various tasks, met staff members, and gained a deeper understanding of the nonprofit’s role in addressing food insecurity and financial hardship in Greenwich.
A Longstanding Partnership in the Community
Greenwich has supported Neighbor to Neighbor for more than a decade, recognizing its vital role in serving the community. The organization, founded in 1975, assists more than 600 people per week through its food pantry, seasonal clothing program, and emergency aid services.
Beyond the efforts of the Rotary Club, Neighbor to Neighbor thrives through widespread community involvement. Local schools, businesses, and volunteers contribute food donations, funding, and time to support the organization’s mission. This collective effort has helped sustain vital programs and expand services to meet growing needs.
For the Rotary Club, direct engagement with local organizations is an essential part of its mission. Club President Agathe Likoba highlighted the value of hands-on involvement:
“By volunteering directly, we gain a deeper understanding of the organizations we have supported for years. This strengthens our commitment to making a tangible impact.”
Neighbor to Neighbor continues to be a cornerstone of support for the Greenwich community, ensuring that no family goes without essential resources.
