Welcome to the Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program

of the Outreach Program of Symphony Village

Overview

This volunteer program was developed to meet the short-term needs of Symphony Village residents whenever they require physical, emotional and/or spiritual support. Given the size of our Community, volunteers have been assigned certain streets in the neighborhood and are known as Street Captains. We are very fortunate to have many residents who are caring and willing to volunteer their time and talents for the benefit of all. We realize that many of you may be reluctant to ask for help; however, the “Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program” was developed to address the needs of the Symphony Community. We urge you to take advantage of these services in times of need.
