Neighbor to Neighbor

What Neighbor to Neighbor does

Neighbor to Neighbor Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1975 in Greenwich, Connecticut, and the only food pantry serving the town. Its core service is a client-choice food pantry, operating since September 2005 and modeled to resemble a small grocery store where clients select their own food from a healthy array of protein, fruits, vegetables, grains, cereals, eggs, and milk, with accommodations for vegetarian, diabetic, kosher, and gluten-free diets. Supporting programs include a Supplemental Food Program providing three days of food per family member weekly, a Clothing & Essentials Program offering monthly access to personal care and household items, an Emergency Food Program for one-time urgent needs, and a Summer Supplement Program for school-aged children.

The organization is funded entirely through donations and grants, with no paid service revenue. Revenue streams include individual donations (with every $1 purchasing approximately $3 of food through grocer partnerships), foundation and corporate grants (including the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation), government and United Way funding (Town of Greenwich, Greenwich United Way), in-kind donations from individuals, schools, and religious groups, planned giving through the Jane Fleming Legacy Society, and special events such as the annual Spring Luncheon. Services are provided free of charge to qualifying Greenwich residents, accessed via referral through approved agencies such as Greenwich Department of Human Services and Greenwich Public Schools; emergency food is exempt from the referral requirement.

Operations are supported by a 12-person paid staff led by Executive Director K. Brent Hill, plus a volunteer corps of 50–75 active contributors providing 15,000 hours of service annually. In 2025, the organization celebrated its 50th anniversary, expanded its pantry hours, and launched multiple produce partnerships (Parsonage Road NTN Garden with Greenwich Community Gardens, Colonial Garden at Putnam Cottage with Israel House Putnam Association), as well as a children's clothing pilot program. The service is geographically constrained to Greenwich, CT, and the organization has no technology platform beyond a website with donation and referral forms.
