What Is It?

The Neighbour2Neighbour system connects Grassrooters to immediate needs within our church and the larger Thunder Bay community, providing opportunities to extend the love of Jesus in practical ways. Be sure to check out the FAQ of questions pertaining to this new ministry. 

How it Works

  1. A Grassrooter learns of a church member or neighbour with a need and sends a short description of that need to n2n@grassroots.church or text 1-833-285-5368  (add this # to your contacts)
  2. A text alert describing the need goes out from Grassroots to everyone who has signed up to receive N2N notifications.
  3. Anyone who can meet the need of the neighbour responds as indicated in the text alert.
  4. A follow-up text will state when the need is met. 

Important to Note

  • The current iteration of this program (Fall 2024) is a pilot program intended to work out kinks and determine a sustainable way forward
  • A minimum of 2 people will be required for meeting a need for liability purposes.
  • The N2N system only promotes service requests (ex. help with errands or moving, bicycle fix, etc), not requests for financial assistance or political organizing.
  • Sending out a request does not guarantee a need will be met. The result depends entirely on the response of N2N participants.
