Our Purpose

Small fixes that let people stay home.

Neighbor to Neighbor of Taylor County helps people in need live safely at home by providing small modifications, minor repairs, and other basic safety services. Every project is made possible by donations and volunteer labor — and, when a job calls for it, paid skilled labor — so the neighbors we serve never see a bill.

We're an all‑volunteer board, and we've been doing this work in Taylor County, Wisconsin since 2011.

Our Vision

“A safe and healthy home for every neighbor.”

The Process

How a project comes together

  1. 1

    We visit

    A board member or volunteer visits the applicant's home to see the need firsthand and scope out the project.

  2. 2

    We build

    Where we're able, we provide minor modifications or repairs that help the homeowner stay safely in their home longer.

  3. 3

    The community funds it

    N2N runs entirely on fundraising and donations, so repairs and modifications go in at no cost to the homeowner.

Programs & Services

What we help with

We focus on small, safety‑related fixes that make a big difference in someone's ability to stay home — not general contracting or remodeling.

Ramps

Aluminum wheelchair and walking ramps for safe entry and exit.

Grab bars

Bathroom and hallway grab bars mounted securely where they're needed most.

Handrails

Sturdy rails along stairs and entryways to steady every step.

Smoke & CO detectors

Working smoke and carbon‑monoxide detectors installed where they belong.

Doorway modification

Widened doorways so a wheelchair can get through comfortably.

Tub cut‑outs

A safe, walk‑in step for tubs that are hard to climb into.

Threshold adjustments

Leveling out door thresholds that catch a foot, cane, or wheel.

Trip‑hazard removal

Clearing small hazards underfoot before they cause a fall.

Safety lighting

Battery or plug‑in lighting for stairs, halls, and dark corners.
