Support Us: Partner 
Our partnerships with foundations, corporations, small businesses and donors are essential to the success of our organization. We value these partnerships and wish to make the relationship equally valuable, which is why we established a new program at Neighborhood House called Social Innovation, focused on corporations and small business.
Social Innovation is a way of thinking about the connections we have to the corporate and business community who support our programs through generous financial and in-kind contributions that enable us to help break the cycle of poverty in the community we share. We created Corporate and Business Roundtables to offer our partners the unique benefits of partnering with a non-profit.

Success Story Going Green in the Neighborhood: Youth Get Dirty Doing Good Work
For the last two years, Neighborhood House has enjoyed a unique relationship with local gardening company, Bailey Nurseries, who has generously donated materials to establish the Neighborhood House Community Garden. Together, with the help of Youth Leadership participants, community volunteers and staff, three garden beds in front of The Wellstone Center were transformed into edible, organic gardens with bountiful strawberries, peas, tomatoes, squash, beans, and lettuce. “Everyone is having fun getting their hands dirty for a good cause,” says Adam Thompson, Manager of Donor Relations at Neighborhood House, who orchestrated the project, “The garden brings people together to support youth and education plus combat hunger issues. Growing food at Neighborhood House teaches youth about food, where it comes from and how they can take control of eating healthy fruits and vegetables, by growing and cooking food themselves.” Youth are guided through the planting, growing, and harvesting process by Betty Ellis, a long-time volunteer and Neighborhood House supporter. Each week, she teaches the youth how to cook a healthy and delicious meal with the foods they have harvested. “It is a very special experience for all of us who are involved,” notes Riley Karbon, Volunteer Coordinator, who receives many requests for volunteer activities involving the garden. In fact, the project is so popular there is discussion about expansion next summer. | |
