Don’t miss Be My Neighbor Day Saturday, February 28, 2026!
There are still plenty of tickets left and you will be able to register once you arrive – nobody will be turned away!
Be My Neighbor Day is a free, family event for children ages 2 – 8 to learn about ways to be a caring neighbor. We’ll meet community partners, first responders, and enjoy crafts and activities. Like Daniel Tiger in the PBS Kids show Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, we’ll discover ways to be a caring neighbor and celebrate helping others!
Be My Neighbor Day is a “grr-ific” way to begin a lifetime of volunteerism!
Donations Needed
During the event, we’ll collect new and gently used coats, jackets, and sweaters to donate to a neighbor in need. Thank you to everyone who donates!
