Neighborhood House is extremely fortunate to have allies like Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici in our corner. Last week the US House passed HR 9495, which would directly affect nonprofits like ours. According to the ACLU, this legislation would grant the secretary of the Treasury the unilateral power to investigate and effectively shut down any tax-exempt organization — including news outlets, universities, and civil society groups — by stripping them of their tax-exempt status based on an unilateral accusation of wrongdoing. Bonamici voted against this deeply concerning legislation. Bonamici reinforced her support of Neighborhood House at a recent Leadership Circle event. "I know how important the services are that Neighborhood House provides. When I visit Neighborhood House sites, I feel inspired. I feel the hope, I feel the joy, the appreciation and the progress. ... I feel like we're really doing meaningful work."

Thanks to you, our neighbors, more than 130 families had Winter Wishes fulfilled. Staff across our programs loved "shopping" from donations to distribute directly to the people we serve: Children in #HeadStart got clothes, toys and coats, families in our #Housing program received household goods for their new homes, families in the #Parenting program got toys, books and diapers as well as coats for moms and dads, and food donations went to help families through our #FreeFoodMarket. Thanks to everyone who supported our #WinterWishes drive!

During the Covid pandemic shut-downs, the demand for food was the greatest we had ever seen, particularly for our delivery service. While society might be open again, the need for food isn't receding. In fact, it continues to rise at alarming rates. November was the busiest month we've seen since before Covid, and according to various reports, food insecurity has been growing pretty much everywhere. Here's where the Neighborhood House Food Security program is this quarter compared to last year's number of people served: Individuals served is up 26% Households served is up 28% Visits to the pantry are up 25% Individuals served multiple times is up 27% Pounds distributed is up 21% ? That's even higher than Food Security Program Manager Jim Cooper expected to see when he ran the stats. Jim and his staff are looking forward to moving into our new building, where the Food Security space will triple in size. We've planned this move and expansion to serve the increasing need, but more needs to be done to address the underlying causes of hunger. People want to be able to provide for themselves. This current environment isn't allowing for that. #foodsecurity
