Good People Fund grantee New Neighbors Partnership, founded by Shoshana Barzel, was recently selected as a recipient of the 2026 Trust in Practice Awards — a joint initiative of Allstate and the Aspen Institute’s Alliance for Social Trust — receiving a $100,000 grant to host potluck-style community dinners across Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens, bringing together residents from different backgrounds to connect and bridge divides. This recognition reflects the remarkable community Shoshana has built: an organization that now serves 600 individuals from 42 countries and has become a steady source of welcome and belonging for refugee and immigrant families in New York.
