Village Neighbors

Changing How We Age in Place

 

View our Village Neighbors' featured story in the Eastern Shore Post!

Connect.  Inspire.  Support. 

Village Neighbors is part of a growing national movement dedicated to helping us older adults maintain active, independent lifestyles in the place we call home. We are a volunteer - driven membership organization that couples old-fashioned neighborliness with modern know-how to provide important services and enhance quality of life. The Village Model is an innovative, cost effective community based solution that improves quality of life and expands choices at all stages of aging.

Our goals are simple:  Enable older adults to remain in charge of their lives, independent in their homes of choice, and involved in their communties as they (we) age. 

If you're interested in strengthening the connections and relationships that support community members in living well and purposefully on Chincoteague, consider becoming a sponsor to Village Neighbors by contacting info@village-neighbors.org


In 2023, our vetted volunteers have completed a total of 582 service requests! This is a 400% increase from 2022 when we fullfilled 111 requests. 

 


Our Village Neighbors Advisory Committee has been working diligently on the 2024 Village Neighbors Partner Program! This program enables businesses and organizations to build recognition with and support of Village Neighbors from within our own community.  We are particularly thankful to our first sustaining partner, H & H Pharmacy! An iconic business to Chincoteague Island, H & H safeguards the lives and well-being of its residents and is now a contributing partner to Village Neighbors. Thank you, H & H Pharmacy

Welcome and thank you to our Contributing Partner, Island Creamery! Since 1975, the Conklin family has served Chincoteague Island and its neighboring communities as well as countless visitors. Whether as a child or adult, many of our first memories to Chincoteague included a visit to the Island Creamery for a delectable homemade treat!
