Just Neighbors + Family Promise + Let Justice Roll

Just Neighbors and Family Promise are partnering with Let Justice Roll in an effort to raise the minimum wage. For more info see the Let Justice Roll website. [LET JUSTICE ROLL HOME PAGE]  Here’s an idea: Use Just Neighbors sessions 1, 2, and 4 to conduct a mini-course on why the minimum wage should be raised.
 

All of the videos in the Just Neighbors ToolKit are now available on a single DVD . . . and for just $5.00.  [ORDER IT ONLINE]

Just Neighbors Update

We have revised and updated the Just Neighbors ToolKit to reflect the latest data, the most current statistics, and the latest developments. We have also revised every session in response to feedback from facilitators and participants. The program truly is better than ever. If you have a ToolKit that you ordered before November 2005, you can update it by ordering a new Facilitator's Guide and new Housing Matters cards. The cost for both is just $20.00 (which is simply the cost of production).  [ORDER IT ONLINE]

Who Is My Neighbor?

In a report on “how needy families get excluded from assistance programs,” the Christian Science Monitor recently said that “The 2006 Street Count - an annual census of homeless people in the United States - has resulted in accolades and high-fives for the Bush administration’s Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH). . . . But for the tens of millions of people who live in rural America, and for families everywhere with children, the news is pretty bad - they just simply didn’t get counted.” [READ MORE HERE]

Hunger in America 2006

More than 25 million Americans—including nearly 9 million children and 3 million seniors—receive emergency food assistance each year from America's Second Harvest. This represents an 8 percent increase since 2001.  Hunger in America 2006, based on 52,000 face-to-face interviews with people seeking emergency food assistance and more than 30,000 agency surveys, is the largest, most-comprehensive study ever conducted on domestic hunger.  [AMERICA’S SECOND HARVEST]

Certificates of Completion

In response to requests from Just Neighbors facilitators, we have created a Certificate of Completion for program participants. This is the perfect way to acknowledge the thought, compassion, and energy that participants put into the Just Neighbors program. You’ll want to order one for each person in your group.  [CLICK HERE TO ORDER]
