As we face the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Good Neighbor House is doing everything in our scope to maintain essential and emergency services to our clients, including food pantry and health care. We are also updating procedures to ensure the safety and well-being of clients, volunteers, and staff alike.
