Date Sept. 28, 2024 - Oct. 4, 2024
September 28th – October 4th is Missouri Good Neighbor Week. Signed into law in 2022, Missouri Good Neighbor Week encourages citizens of Missouri to “participate in events and activities to establish connections with their neighbors”. In 2023 our goal was to document 15,000 acts of neighboring….we documented 19,778! In addition there were 74 service events reported, thousands of visitors to the website, and 60 people were nominated as engaged neighbors. Thank you, Missouri, for showing up for your neighbors during Missouri Good Neighbor Week. We can’t wait for 2024. Check back here in the spring of 2024 for more information on our goals, plans, and resources!
Nominations for 2024 Missouri Engaged Neighbors are open!
During Missouri Good Neighbor Week we want to honor those neighbors who go above and beyond, and we need your help! Use the link below to nominate your most engaged neighbor. All nominee’s will receive a small gift and their nomination will be considered for state and county prizes during Missouri Good Neighbor Week.
Keep the Movement going!
