The Good Neighbor Card is a charitable giving initiative to provide assistance to children, families and the elderly who are faced with low-income, hunger and homelessness.

• The reloadable ‘prepaid’ card will provide a monthly supplement to be spent on staples and necessities.
• Family and Children Services, domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters and providers for the disabled and elderly will distribute the cards to clients.
• Online donors will be able to track in ‘real time’ how the cards are being used; for milk, bread, cheese, medicine, diapers, fruit, etc.

Good Neighbor, the name of the card, is not only descriptive of those providing the help; but also protects the dignity of the recipients when presenting their card at checkout.
