San Bernardino, CA — Arrowhead United Way (AUW) and The Home of Neighborly Service (HNS) are proud to announce a new partnership that brings HNS operations to their new home at Arrowhead United Way’s facility at 646 N. D Street. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in expanding community services, strengthening local support systems, and increasing access to
essential resources for families and businesses across San Bernardino.
About The Home of Neighborly Service
Founded in 1922, The Home of Neighborly Service has been a pillar of support in San Bernardino for more than a century. From its historic 100 year old building, HNS has provided food, resources, and vital assistance to families and individuals across the city. Despite recent challenges, HNS remains committed to its mission: helping the people of San Bernardino and preserving its historic landmark for future generations. Unfortunately, due to the economic down turn being faced in San Bernardino the HNS began to scheduled a closure which faced 100’s of families and children no longer able to receive much needed longer-term services they have received for years. However, prior to the final closure date HNS met with Arrowhead Head United Way and the process began towards the new future of the “Home Having A New Home.”
