“I think we’re all trying to find ways to be a better person and ultimately a better neighbor. We’ve learned over the years that volunteerism is one of the best ways to learn what that means and BAGNW allows us to do that together rather than alone.” – Andrew Hoffman, Executive Director of NeighborLink
