Good Neighbors is a 501(c)3 community ministry of the Blount County Ecumenical Action Council. 

Good Neighbors is designed to help lift our neighbors out of crisis in a compassionate setting.

Good Neighbors provides resources to maintain and/or increase the ability of our neighbors to cope with the challenges of everyday life. We do this in an atmosphere of love and respect, building partnerships through which Christ’s love can grow and by advocating for social justice within Blount County.

Good Neighbors provides support through:
1.  Listening and problem solving with our neighbors.  Many times, a person is able to solve his or her own problem, if given the support to do so.  Neighbors meet one-on-one with a volunteer coach to assess their situation and possible solutions.

2.  Referrals to and networking with other agencies in Blount County.  GN will advocate to help our neighbors get their needs met.  Neighbors are always encouraged and supported in their efforts to seek training and education to make a lasting difference.

3. Limited financial assistance.  When appropriate, GN may assist with partial payment of past due bills for life's basic needs (utilities, rent, etc.)
