Skilled Trades Needed Year-Round

Neighbor•Care is always in need of skilled tradespeople who are willing to donate their labor year-round. Contractor pledges of service calls can assist countless homeowners in need throughout Montgomery County. Neighbor•Care pays for the supplies and materials (up to $300 per project) and the participating contractor donates the labor.

Neighbor•Care received a call from Children's Medical Center. An infant on a ventilator was ready to be discharged, but the family's home did not have a dedicated electrical circuit for the ventilator. Neighbor•Care found an electrician who donated her time to modify the family's electrical service to accommodate the machine and the baby was sent home with his family.
