Cleveland Family Encourages Donations
Neighbor to Neighbor Ended a Successful Three Year Capital Campaign
Three years ago, Washburn County residents Carolyn Cleveland and her late husband Dave pledged a three-year matching donation to Neighbor to Neighbor. “Dave and I envisioned a generous community response to our challenge grant to Neighbor to Neighbor, and it has been very gratifying that so many local businesses and residents have responded with their donations,” said Carolyn Cleveland, who also volunteers for the organization.
“Through generous donations from the Cleveland's and our community. Neighbor to Neighbor made significant progress on behalf of the seniors and adults with disabilities we serve,” said Thomas Gahm, chair of the organization. “We now have our own office and community meeting area for seniors and volunteers. We have a full-time director, increased our programming, and visibility in the community which attracted more volunteers to assist seniors and adults with disabilities.”

Neighbor to Neighbor (FIA) has received a pledge of $150,000 − three $50,000 annual gifts for 2022, 2023 and 2024 − from Washburn County residents Dave and Carolyn Cleveland. The pledge came with a challenge for Neighbor to Neighbor to raise an additional $50,000 in community donations each of the three years. So, with the help of our community we had a successful three-year Neighbor to Neighbor campaign totaling $300,000 in new funds for the organization. These funds assist Washburn County seniors and adults with disabilities with the volunteer services they need for independent living.
Neighbor to Neighbor (FIA) plans to use the additional funds for significant expansion of programs for seniors.
Plans include:
