Celebrating National Good Neighbor Day

Every year, on September 28, National Good Neighbor Day is celebrated. This special day was established in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter, who proclaimed the day as a way to honor and promote neighborly interactions. The intention was to encourage individuals to take a moment to appreciate their neighbors and the role they play in building a supportive community.

The following are a few ways you can celebrate National Good Neighbor Day.

• Host a neighborhood gathering.
• Drop off a meal to a neighbor in need.
• Offer to help with yard work.
• Organize a neighborhood clean-up.
• Stop and have a conversation.
