The Neighborhood Crew brings donated skill and a helping hand to elderly, disabled, and income-qualified neighbors - from home repairs to yard work to a run to the store - the things they can't safely or affordably manage alone. No invoice. No catch.
Sometimes it's a leaky roof. Sometimes it's a lawn that got away from someone, or a trip to the store they can't make anymore. We start with the repairs that keep a home safe, and we don't stop there - if a qualifying neighbor needs a hand, we try to be the hand.
Grab bars, handrails, and ramps. Leaks, exposed wiring, broken steps. Doors, locks, and windows that won't secure.
Wheelchair ramps and widened access. Walk-in shower conversions. The aging-in-place modifications that let people stay in the homes they love.
Water heaters and essential plumbing. Roof patches before the rain gets in. The deferred repairs that snowball into displacement.
Yard work and hauling. A grocery or pharmacy run. Moving something heavy, clearing a walkway, the everyday tasks that get harder with age, illness, or a tight budget.
Bringing our crews to seniors in assisted living communities - personal safety upgrades, mobility fixes, and the small things that restore dignity to a resident's own space.
Our co-founder Mariah Biddle is a certified peer support specialist. Before any work starts, she sits down with you - to listen, to understand what daily life actually looks like, and to figure out together what would help the most.
No intake grilling. A real conversation - at your kitchen table or on the phone - about what's hard right now and what you're up against.
Trained to hear what people don't always say out loud: the step you've started avoiding, the errands piling up, the repair you've felt embarrassed to mention.
Then the crew shows up - for the fix, the favor, or both. Here you're a neighbor we're glad to help, never a case number.
Contractor, handyman, driver, or just a good neighbor with a free Saturday - tell us what you can do and we'll find a way to use it.
Our first repair is being matched now.

Referrals OpenVolunteers and partner tradespeople donate most of the work. But not every job finds a volunteer, and some of it takes a licensed pro we have to pay. Donations cover whatever it actually takes to finish a neighbor's job: the lumber, pipe, wire, fixtures, and permits, paid labor when that is the only way to get it done, and the modest cost of running the program well. We keep overhead lean and report it openly.
Secure giving through Givebutter. One-time or monthly, by card, bank transfer, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, or Venmo. You will get a receipt by email.
We are an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity (EIN 42-4045039), effective July 26, 2026. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Donors rank financial transparency and legal legitimacy above everything else - including how nice the website is. So here's the ledger, kept current as each piece lands.
Mariah Biddle is a certified peer support specialist - trained to sit with a person, earn their trust, and understand what they're really facing, not just what fits on a form. That's where our work begins. She meets each neighbor where they are, listens for what would genuinely make their days safer and easier, and builds the plan around them - whether that turns out to be a grab bar, a ride to the pharmacy, a yard that got away from someone, or simply a reliable person who shows up.
She co-founded The Neighborhood Crew with Spencer Smock, who handles the contractor partnerships and keeps projects moving behind the scenes. Together with a growing crew of volunteers and tradespeople, they make sure no neighbor who needs a hand has to ask twice - or face it alone.
