Our Sponsors 2026
Helping transform lives
We are honored to recognize the generous sponsors of our 2026 Transforming Lives Luncheon. Their faithful support helps make this event - and the year-round ministry of Neighbors in Action - possible. Together, we are investing in children, strengthening families, and building a community where every neighbor is known, loved, and belongs.
It is not too late to join this incredible group of supporters. We would be honored to welcome you as a luncheon sponsor.
