Montpelier Neighbor Net is a community-driven initiative designed to bring people closer together, block by block.

For newcomers, Neighbor Net is a welcoming way to meet people, build relationships, and feel a part of Montpelier’s strong community fabric. These networks help fight isolation, increase resilience, and make sure no one is left behind when challenges arise.
