Partnering the needs of some with the
willing hands of others.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors is a City of Excelsior Springs volunteer program that helps eligible residents maintain and remain in their home. Neighbors Helping Neighbors connects volunteers, volunteer groups, and organizations with eligible Excelsior Springs residents whose homes require maintenance or repair.
Who Does NHN Help?
Eligible residents are owner/occupants of a home within Excelsior Springs city limits. They must have a physical limitation due to age (65 or older) OR disability; AND have a household income under $50,000 annually. Residents complete an application and send it to the Volunteer Coordinator at the City of Excelsior Springs. Priority is given to residents who have nobody else to help them.
