Northampton Neighbors exists so that people who live in Northampton can age in their own homes rather than having to move into an institution as our parents often did when they got older.

We are a volunteer organization helping each other with small neighborly services and tasks, becoming friends, reaching out to each other (especially to those who may be isolated, frail, or in some way underserved), and developing a sense of community together.

We also have interest groups (hiking, gardening, knitting, etc) and regular social gatherings in our neighborhoods and at city-wide locations to increase friendship and connection among members.

Unlike most other Villages around the country, we charge no membership fee, since we want to be widely inclusive and available to everyone in Northampton, Florence and Leeds.

We currently have 525 members, and that number increases every week, mainly through word of mouth.
