Help a Neighbor started in January 2025
Help a Neighbor is a committed group of parents who wanted to support the families and youth in the Mounds View School district by finding out about special projects and being able to help financially and/or volunteer to help make the projects a reality.
We are inspired to better the lives of youth and families in the Mounds View School District by meeting basic needs of food insecurity and also helping individuals who are working with youth: teachers, coaches, nurses,
librarian's, staff and community leaders.
