When you take the Neighbor-to-Neighbor pledge, you’ll receive a Connection Toolkit to help you get started. A simple hello can grow into lasting friendships.

Say hello - Start with a smile and a greeting. Introduce yourself and learn a name.

Share what you know - Tell neighbors about City services and Intergenerational Programs that support older adults and adults with disabilities. 

Join local events:

• Community Connector activities: Group exercise, social gatherings, and other events in San Francisco neighborhoods and online. View the Community Living Campaign Events Calendar.

Research shows that knowing at least six neighbors improves health and well-being. It helps people feel less alone and more supported. It also makes communities stronger and better prepared for disasters. 

When you know the people around you, life feels safer and more connected. In everyday moments or during an emergency, neighbors can be a lifeline. Friendships across generations bring joy, support, and a sense of resilience.
