Neighbors 4 Neighbors is a non- profit organization originally created in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew under the auspices of CBS 4. (then known as WCIX-TV, Channel 6). The relief effort, "Rebuilding: Neighbors Helping Neighbors", consisted of a 15-line phone bank, staffed 18 hours daily with volunteers and station personnel. News reporters and anchors broadcasting live from the phone bank would tell viewers to call the phone bank if they were storm victims in need of help or if they simply wanted to help. Special reports profiling affected families and volunteer efforts also served to motivate viewers into action. The response was overwhelming and the phone bank quickly became a tool in assisting those in crisis. As South Florida recovered, CBS4 management opted to continue Neighbors as a resource for all those in need and the every day crises that face our community by partnering with community leaders to create the nonprofit organization formerly known as Neighbors Helping Neighbors.
Hurricane Relief for Florida Victims Financial support is crucial in helping people recover and rebuild their lives. Every dollar contributed to the United Way Hurricane Response and Recovery Fund will be used to fund services that address both the short- and long-term needs of the individuals and families affected by hurricane devastation.
