Welcome to the Damascus Aid
neighbor network
We believe the best safety net is the one neighbors weave for each other. Damascus Aid exists for one purpose: when a local family is hit by sudden hardship — a job loss, a diagnosis, a disconnect notice — we respond with immediate, practical help and zero judgment. Run entirely by local volunteers, every dollar we receive stays in our community.

Stories from our neighbors
Why this work matters
“When my husband started dialysis, I didn't know how we'd manage three trips a week. A Damascus Aid volunteer was at our door that same Friday — and every week since.”
Margaret H.Transportation program
“After the layoff, the pantry kept dinner on our table. Nobody made us feel small. They just helped — like good neighbors do.”
David R.Food pantry
“They paid our heating bill in the middle of January and delivered beds for the kids. I cried when the truck pulled up.”

Give time, not just money
Become a volunteer
Drive a neighbor to treatment, stock pantry shelves, deliver a holiday basket, or help carry a sofa up a flight of stairs. A few hours a month changes lives here.
