Welcome to our Web Site!

Good Neighbors is a 501(c)3 community ministry of the Blount County Ecumenical Action Council.  It is designed to help lift our neighbors out of crisis.

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 can solve his or her own problem, if given the support to do so.

2.  Referrals and networking with other agencies in Blount County.  We try to help our neighbors find the assistance that they need within our area.  If we cannot, we help out neighbors advocate to get their needs met.

3. Limited financial assistance.  We have a small fund to assist with payment of past due bills for life’s necessities.
