52 Weeks of Neighboring - Week 44

Neighboring Tip of the Week - Text, call, or visit a neighbor who seems isolated and may be experiencing loneliness during the holiday season.

Hello all!

We recognize that these next few weeks may be very busy for you, your family, and your neighbors, so again, we will attempt to keep these next few tips relatively short. Here is what we propose for this week: Text, call, or visit a neighbor who seems isolated and may be experiencing loneliness during the holiday season. While this time of year is filled with festivities, it may also present feelings of isolation or loss for many people. Many are not able to visit family or friends over the holidays for a variety of reasons. For others, the holidays bring feelings of grief over loved ones who have passed on. Do you know of a neighbor who may be experiencing any of these feelings? Let’s commit to eradicating loneliness by being mindful of our neighbors and catching up with them. The holiday season is a season of joy, and by simply taking the time to text, call, or visit a neighbor, you can both spread this joy and foster community.

Happy neighboring!
