NORTH QUABBIN CITIZEN ADVOCACY
WELCOMES YOU
Building community: one relationship - two people - at a time
During the COVID-19 crisis we are working from home.
Practice physical distancing not social distancing.
We will continue to foster friendships, two people at a time.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

OUR WORK IS VITAL
-
We are being challenged in ways we have not known before.
-
Survival - Work - Family - Home - Food - Safety
-
Where is community with physical distance?
-
We need each other.
-
Communities work best when the web of relationships include us all—the poor, elderly, and disabled side by side with the rich, young, and able-bodied.
-
The informal network of mutually beneficial relationships defines community
-
Disabled people are often not included.
-
NQCA invites ordinary citizens to reach out and include our disabled neighbors, and in doing so strengthens the web for us all.
WE ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE REST
-
NQCA recruits and supports unpaid advocates to be helpful friends to disabled people.
-
NQCA, through the relationships it supports, helps disabled people, their advocates, and the entire community as neighborly caring increases.

WE MAKE AN IMPACT
-
Through newsletters, presentations, and discussions, NQCA’s work invites others to call forth more neighborly caring in other communities.
-
Lessons from working with hundreds of people in caring relationships serve as a guide to others on the “how to” questions of initiating and supporting freely-given relationships.
