NCH Community Hotline
Your neighbors are here for you! The NCH community hotline is a telephone number for requesting assistance with whatever needs or questions you may have. Any resident of North Crown Hill may call and leave a message at any time - though we're especially excited that we now have a way to connect and support our neighbors who don't have the access or inclination to use the internet.
Calling
When you call, you will hear:
You've reached the North Crown Hill community hotline. If you have an emergency, please hang up and dial 911 instead. Otherwise, please leave a message after the beep describing your need or question. Include your first name, street address, and how you'd like to be contacted. Your message will be sent to neighborhood volunteers who will do their best to follow up with you. Here comes the beep.
After you hang up (or press any key), your voicemail and telephone number will pop up in the neighborhood chat hub where screened volunteers will field your request and reach out to you according to your specified preference. Remember, your neighbors are kind but ametuer helpers. This number is not staffed around-the-clock, and all responses are on a "best effort" basis.
Need the number? If you join it will be emailed to you, or you can ask for it directly. If you can't email, ask your neighbor! The number is not public, in order to prevent spam calls.
