Welcome to our GoHero Neighbors Program! At GoHero Home Services, we’ve dedicated 20 years to serving our community’s needs. More than a decade ago, we started this initiative to extend a helping hand to our neighbors experiencing financial hardships. This program is our way of giving back to the community that has supported us for so long. We select one household to receive a free plumbing, HVAC or electrical service. Whether it’s necessary repairs, essential installations, or critical upgrades, we’re here to help.
Why a Submission Process?
As much as we would like to assist everyone, our resources are limited. To ensure our assistance reaches those who need it most, we rely on a submission process. This helps us understand each applicant’s situation and determine where we can make the most significant impact.
How to Apply:
Please fill out the submission form below to apply or nominate someone you know who needs our help. Provide as much detail as possible to help us make an informed decision.
Together, let’s continue to brighten our community—one project at a time. Thank you for joining us in making a difference!

Volunteers:
Service Delivery Standards: Our delivery and service standards ensure that every project, regardless of the beneficiary’s financial situation, meets the same rigorous quality and safety requirements as services provided to paying clients. All work is performed in compliance with local building codes and industry best practices, guaranteeing no shortcuts on safety or structural integrity. We adhere strictly to a policy of no compromise on the quality of materials or craftsmanship, ensuring every service delivered under the GoHero Neighbor Program is of the highest standard. Our commitment is to provide safe, reliable, and exceptional services, ensuring that every home we touch is left better, safer, and more comfortable.
Confidentiality and Respect: We uphold the highest standards of confidentiality for our beneficiaries, ensuring that their privacy is respected at all times. Only a photograph, the beneficiary’s first name, and the general side of town are shared publicly; full names and property addresses are strictly confidential and will not be disclosed.
Sustainability: Our approach to sustainability hinges on distributing the service burden lightly across trades, with each only serving four times a year, ensuring no single group is overextended. By issuing the company ministry monthly and engaging a broad base of volunteers, we guarantee our ability to serve our community effectively, even in months when revenue is lower, maintaining our commitment without strain.
