About NeighborPal

NeighborPal is a neighbor networking tool that helps you connect, share information and organize with your neighbors and local friends online.

Create a trusted contact network of your close neighbors, nearby friends and local acquaintances. You control who's in and who's not - it's your network.

In times past, nearly everyone worked a 9 to 5 schedule and had weekends free, it was easier for neighbors to interact and maintain local relationships. If someone wanted to ask or tell a neighbor about a local activity, recommend a local service, or discuss a local issue, they'd simply pick-up the phone or knock on their neighbor's door.

But times have changed.

Today, we may "know" a lot of people in our neighborhood – playgroup friends, soccer team parents, neighbors on the block, classroom parents, and members of other local groups – and yet there's no easy way to stay-in-touch and share.

NeighborPal can help you stay connected locally.

Communicate with your personalized network of neighbors, local friends and acquaintances whenever it's convenient for you – without the worry of calling too late, knocking on a neighbor's door at a bad time, or even calling each neighbor one by one. Simply post a message online to your private neighbor network.

NeighborPal provides an easier way to have contact with the people you know locally, with the limited time you have available.

You start by signing-up and creating a household profile for yourself.

Then, you include neighbors and local friends in your personal network.

Start feeling and benefiting from being connected to the people you know in the neighborhood.
