neighbor2NEIGHBOR

A Mutual Aid Project of the Anderson County Democratic Party

What is neighbor2NEIGHBOR?

neighbor2NEIGHBOR is our mutual aid committee focused on meeting urgent, everyday needs right here in Anderson County. We listen to our community and organize ways to help.

We have learned just how many families are struggling to afford basic hygiene supplies - items not covered by SNAP benefits, yet essential to dignity and health.

That’s where neighbor2NEIGHBOR steps in.

Introducing the Hygiene Closet

Our Hygiene Closet will provide free monthly distributions of essential hygiene products to families in need - no forms, no red tape, just help.

Products include:

  • Laundry detergent

  • Laundromat gift cards

  • Deodorant

  • Soap & body wash

  • Shampoo

  • Razors

  • Toothbrushes & toothpast

Who We Help (and how we choose)

We work with trusted referral partners who know the community best:

  • Family Resource Centers in our schools

  • TORCH

  • United Way

  • MIST

  • and others

These partners refer families directly to us. We then reach out to those families with all the info they need to pick up their items - no extra steps required.

How Distribution Works

We host one distribution day per month at a central location (our HQ). Families referred to us will receive personlized outreach with pickup details.

We respect your time, your needs, and your privacy.
