Neighbor to Neighbor Program

Cocoa Beach Neighbor2Neighbor Project

More than 70 Cocoa Beach community volunteers have joined in a grassroots effort to lend a hand to neighbors in need. Cocoa Beach Neighbor 2 Neighbor initiative is part of the Save our Neighborhoods group recently formed to investigate options for improvement to the overall community’s appearance.

The Neighbor 2 Neighbor goal is to provide assistance to Cocoa Beach homeowners unable to clean up their yards, paint their house exterior, or to perform minor repairs to their residence…with NO cost to the homeowner.

Neighbor 2 Neighbor hopes to improve the community one home at a time.

If you want to improve your property but are unable to, because of physical limitations due to age, illness or other situations beyond your control, you may qualify for their help.

To qualify for assistance:

• Applicants must provide proof of homestead exemption and permanently reside in their homes.

• Applicants must be unable to perform the needed cosmetic repairs due to age, financial hardship or physical impairment.

If selected, repairs will be performed at NO COST to the applicant. The group hopes to begin its first project in April 2010. Those interested in becoming a candidate for assistance, or as a volunteer, should contact Jack Kirschenbaum at 321-258-6356 or respond to P.O. Box 1870, Melbourne, FL 32902.
“It’s about giving and caring for those around us!”
