Neighbor to Neighbor celebrated our organization’s achievements at our annual meeting held on July 28, 2025. 1,860 individuals were served by our organization in 2024. 56 volunteers shared 1,452 hours with us last year. Sheila Petroni was presented with the “Lifetime of Service Award” for her volunteer service with Neighbor to Neighbor in Northern Door County since 1993. Sheila manages the Northern Door medical equipment loan program and has been in that role since the opening of that site. In addition, she has served on the board of directors since 2022, representing the Northern Door area. Thank you to Sheila for her dedicated service with Neighbor to Neighbor and to the Northern Door Community!
