Date Sept. 28, 2024 - Oct. 4, 2024
September 28th – October 4th is Missouri Good Neighbor Week. Signed into law in 2022, Missouri Good Neighbor Week encourages citizens of Missouri to “participate in events and activities to establish connections with their neighbors”. In 2023 our goal was to document 15,000 acts of neighboring….and we surpassed the goal! So, in 2024 our goal is 20,000 Acts of Neighboring being reported across Missouri. What will you do?

Top 4 Most Neighborly Cities in Missouri
This year your Acts of Neighboring could help your city be recognized as a Missouri Most Neighborly City! Report your Act of Neighboring and it will be credited to your city. The cities will be awarded based on the number of acts reported in their size category (Small, Medium, Large, and Metro). Awards will be announced after all the reports have been received.
Springfield Residents – Register Your Block Party
The goal is to get 100 neighbors in the City of Springfield to sign up and participate before or during Missouri Good Neighbor Week, which runs from Saturday, September 28, through Thursday, October 4. Neighborhoods will also be randomly selected to have KY3 First Alert Weather meteorologists come to the block parties, which may then be featured during live newscasts.
Keep the Movement going!
Continue doing acts of neighboring through the year and register them on the map.
