SML Good Neighbors seeks to develop good neighbor skills and values in children through programs that nourish, educate and support them.  This is a united church and community effort.

To fulfill this mission:

• We provide lunches for summer school students in three Bedford County elementary schools.
• We provide backpacks containing food for the weekend and a new book each Friday of summer school for children in three Bedford County and three Franklin County schools.
• We provide a four-week summer enrichment day camp for children in three Bedford County and three Franklin County schools.  The children are from families with limited resources.  We focus on reading, writing and communication skills. Enrichment activities are provided every afternoon in Nature Education, Peace Education and Cultural Diversity.
• We provide opportunities for leadership training and vocational exploration for carefully selected college interns.
• We provide volunteers for an in-school mentoring program in two elementary schools.
• We organize community resources to address the needs of children.
