ABOUT NNH

For over 85 years, Northside Neighborhood House has been a service organization focused on providing assistance to our neighbors and friends.

Everyone needs a little help sometimes.

We are the agency that provides the community with the ability to give individuals and families in need "a hand-up, not a hand-out."

Please join us in our efforts to show our neighbors that they are not alone.

Emergency Direct Assistance

Working cooperatively with other agencies, this program consists of:

1. A comprehensive intake including verification of need and appropriate counseling and referral to existing programs
2. Help with emergency needs for utilities, food and prescription medications
3. Referral to NNH programs as appropriate
4. Follow-up phone calls to check on clients' progress
5. Distribution of Christmas toys (children ages birth-15) and food baskets
6. Delivery of Easter and Thanksgiving packages to Senior Citizens.
