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 2024 our goal was to document 20,000 acts of neighboring….and we surpassed the goal by over 10,000 acts! Thank you to everyone who participated. Time to start planning for 2025!
