Neighbours in Need is a small business initiative, locally organized by JustB Salon and BSIDE Beauty to support the growing number of individuals and organizations negatively affected by the pandemic. We encourage financial or physical donations and promote the various ways businesses and individuals can support vital social programs, essential services and local charities that serve those most vulnerable in our community.
The resilience of our city and country will be shown in our ability to come together and make it through this pandemic as one unified collective of people. Neighbours in Need is a local resource centre to help you find ways to give back to the community, collaborate with organizations, individuals, or businesses and find meaningful ways you can engage with the charities that matter most in your community.
