Message from our Board President:

On behalf of the Board of Directors of West End Neighborhood House, I would like to welcome you to West End on the web! Whether you are seeking services, an opportunity to get involved, or are simply interested in our work, we hope you feel at home at West End.

When I first joined the board eight years ago, I was impressed by West End’s solid reputation as a community leader offering diverse programs and services to families and individuals in need. Shortly after joining, impressed turned into inspired as I witnessed West End’s rich 125-year-old tradition of adapting to the needs of the community. During my tenure, I have watched West End transform into a financial services leader, a champion for youth and adults seeking education and employment and a savior for former foster care youth.

Although the stagnant economy proved to be a challenge over the past year, which was also my first year as board president, West End is helping more Delawareans than ever before. At a time when many non-profits are being forced to shrink or close their doors, West End has expanded the size and reach of their services. Today, West End helps over 10,000 individuals achieve self-sufficiency and independence annually.

It is an honor to support West End Neighborhood House, and on behalf of my fellow board members, we hope you consider supporting the excellent work the dedicated staff, supporters and volunteers perform to improve our communities.
