Zharity Supports Neighbors Helping Neighbors


Would you like to help out in your neighborhood? Perhaps go shopping for an elderly person, help someone get to a doctor’s appointment, or lend a hand in the garden?

Nachbarschaftschilfe (Neighborhood Help) provides opportunities for volunteers throughout the city of Zürich to help neighbors in need. Facilitators in each neighborhood work to pair volunteers with their neighbors. As a volunteer, you can decide how many hours you’d like to work each week and which activities you’d prefer. As other Zharity members have discovered, there are countless ways to help and to make a deeper connection to your local community!


To get involved, call 043 960 14 48 or email info@nachbarschaftshilfe.ch. German language skills are in high demand, but depending on the neighborhood, not always required. Your local facilitator can tell you more about the needs in your neighborhood.
