Tempe Neighbors Helping Neighbors (TNHN) is a grassroots, membership-based nonprofit founded in 2009 to enable adults to remain in their homes and communities as they age. By coordinating a network of compassionate neighbors and volunteers. TNHN offers assistance with basic home and yard maintenance, transportation, socialization, companionship and more.
Sometimes we could use a little assistance, but paid in-home care is more than we need or beyond our budget. By joining TNHN, our members gain access to a caring village of volunteers who provide basic services to help them remain in their homes as they age.
TNHN requests that volunteers serve a minimum of 2 hours per month.
All of TNHN's volunteers must attend an orientation and undergo a background check.
Normal Hours of operation: M-F, 8-5 office hours.
