Bartlett Illinois non profit charity helping children families

Who We Are

Neighbors for Neighbors began in 1998 when a couple of women saw a friend, whose son was diagnosed with cancer, struggling to deal with it both financially and emotionally. They decided to put together some fundraisers. After seeing what they were able to accomplish, they thought it would be nice to help other families as well.

Neighbors for Neighbors is associated with the Bartlett community. This is because a majority of our members reside in Bartlett and most of our events take place in town.

We are a licensed 501c3 not-for-profit organization. We are a small group of men and women volunteers who hold fundraisers. Many of us are parents with jobs and busy lives. Each member takes on whatever responsibilities they can reasonably and realistically see through from start to finish.

What We Do

Through various fundraisers and grants awarded to our organization we offer financial assistance to families with critically ill children who reside within our community. Neighbors for Neighbors also offers support for the families dealing with these challenges.

Events we sponsor or contribute to include NFN Spaghetti Dinner, Bartlett Fourth of July Festival Bingo Tent, Fall Holiday Dinner for area senior citizens, Bartlett Police Department's National Night Out Pie Eating Contest, Zanies Comedy Night Out, assisting with various blood and food drives.
