The federal shutdown has put thousands of Alexandrians in a tough spot. With 1 in 3 households already unable to cover a $400 emergency, even a short pause in income can lead to a crisis. NeighborShare is stepping in fast, with critical support from ACT for Alexandria.

NeighborShare creates just-in-time financial assistance so a small but pivotal expense like a car repair, medical bill, or utility payment doesn’t spiral into crises like food insecurity, job loss, or even homelessness. We partner with trusted local nonprofits who identify urgent household needs that would otherwise go unmet, and our network of neighbors fulfills them in real time through our platform.

Whether you give $10 or $100, your tax-deductible donation can directly help federal employees, contractors, hourly workers, small business staff, and families relying on SNAP, all living right here in Alexandria.
