Springfield Neighbors United

Pay-It-Forward Awardee

Springfield Neighbors United brings together faith leaders, residents, and community partners to support immigrant families navigating mounting legal and economic uncertainty. As immigration enforcement and changes to Temporary Protected Status have disrupted jobs and household incomes, the volunteer-led coalition has provided food, diapers, transportation to medical appointments and immigration hearings, and assistance with family emergency planning. Formed amid growing hostility toward Springfield’s Haitian community, the group has mobilized more than 100 individuals and organizations around a simple message: “Love Your Neighbor: Make it Local.”
