National Good Neighbor Day
September 28, 2023
Let's Create an Epidemic of Kindness! Neighbors connecting with neighbors is an important part of PVE Neighborhood Watch. When we know each other and watch out for each other, we keep our neighborhoods safer. PVE Neighborhood Watch started celebrating in 2020. We had a number of creative neighbor support activities through the year, generating smiles and connection (see photos). This is a great year to get to know new neighbors and reconnect with our longtime neighbors. Think of a creative way to get to know and reach out and show kindness to your neighbors.

The "Good Neighbor" Pledge
I pledge to be the "good neighbor." With the goal of becoming a more connected and caring community, I will be a person who lives with kindness and concern for my neighbors.
I’ll take the first step by connecting with neighbors and introduce myself. I will practice the "good neighbor mindset" to make connections, invitations, stay aware and be available to my neighbors. Good neighbors make great neighborhoods.
