• Technology assistance for your electronic devices: computer, tablet, TV, phone

Short-Term Service Membership 

For those who need services for a limited time, we offer a short-term Service Membership: one person for three months, $200. Short-term Service Membership can be easily converted to a full year if needed; $200 would be applied to the full-year fee.

Supporting Membership

Donors who contribute $350 or more automatically become Supporting Members for one year. Membership fees cover only 50% of our organization's expenses. We rely on and are grateful for the loyal support of all our donors and are pleased to offer special benefits to these donors. 

Benefits

• Knowing you are helping others in your community at a critical stage of life
• Knowing that Coastal Neighbors will be there if you need help in the future
• Invitations to all social events and special interest programs
• An unexpected life event, such as surgery or the death of a spouse, may mean that you need help. On request, you may access all our regular volunteer-provided services (transportation, household chores, etc.) for a period of two consecutive months. This temporary benefit can be converted to full Service Membership; the amount of the donation would be applied to full-year single or household Service Membership.
