As a member of the Massachusetts Coalition to End Loneliness and Build Community has announced that Massachusetts Good Neighbor Day of Action will take place from September 26 to 28, 2025. Building upon the success of 2024, this initiative aims to strengthen community bonds and combat social isolation across the Commonwealth.

As a member of the coalition, the Massachusetts Healthy Aging Collaborative encourages community partners engaged in age- and dementia friendly initiatives to take part.

Whether you host a neighborhood gathering, reach out to isolated residents, host a scavenger hunt, hold a “find your people” fair, create a good neighbor bingo card game, or simply help spread the word, every contribution makes a difference.

The coalition has created a Good Neighbor Day 2025 Toolkit that includes ideas, resources and promotional materials. Though it’s not required, those communities planning events are encouraged to “register” their activities here.

More information on the coalition is available on their website.
