How It All Began

Good Neighbor House was founded over 30 years ago through the collaboration of eight Dayton-area Seventh-Day Adventist churches, all driven by a shared desire to make a difference for the under-served in the community. In 1994, these congregations came together to form Good Neighbor House, a nonprofit organization that initially provided food, clothing, and household items to individuals and families in need across the Greater Dayton Region.

​

As the need for affordable healthcare grew within Dayton’s working uninsured community, so did Good Neighbor House’s vision. In 1996, with support from various community partnerships, GNH established a clinic offering medical, dental, and vision services, along with health education and screenings for under-served families.

​

Today, after over three decades of service, Good Neighbor House offers a full spectrum of human and health services, including dental, medical, and eye clinics, a special dietary needs program, counseling, a pharmaceutical dispensary, physical therapy and a food pantry. By collaborating with local agencies, we continue to thoughtfully address the needs of our neighbors.

​

Our mission is made possible through the generous support of generous donors and volunteers. Funded by both monetary and in-kind contributions, we are proud to make a significant impact on countless lives throughout the Greater Dayton Region.
