Howdy, neighbors! How are you all doing this fine day, dear Pandas? Why don’t you sit down with a cool glass of lemonade? Is there anything on your mind that you’d like to talk about? Do you need help repainting your house or mowing your lawn? Don’t be shy—we’re happy to help. The essence of a wholesome neighbor and a strong local community is kindness. That and the willingness to lend a helping hand without expecting anything in return.
We know—the world can seem like a scary and dark place sometimes, full of spooky fears and lingering doubts. However, life’s also full of light and joy. And it’s the people closest to us who help keep the darkness at bay. We can prove it, too! The Bored Panda team has picked out the most wholesome examples of neighbors going out of their way to make the world a better place for everyone.

This is Bridgeton. Mr. ‘C’ has lived here for nearly 50 years, and is well known in his neighborhood. Yesterday, unknown to him while he was watching television, this group saw smoke coming from the roof of his house. Rather than ignore it, they were concerned for their neighbor and alerted him.

Once his very last shift was finally over, the neighborhood had another surprise for Mr. Floyd. 300+ people came to a covered dish block party in his honor. People stood in line all night for hugs and photos. Floyd’s known these guys since they were babies. “Now you guys are as tall as I am!”. Floyd said tonight’s sendoff was the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for him. His parting words: “Continue to take care of each other, and smile when you think of me.”
He hopes to go to Hawaii one day, so neighbors have launched an official Go Fund Me to help Mr. Floyd realize his dream of visiting Hawaii one day.
