The May Kit—
#5, Staying Scam-Savvy  

Scams are getting smarter, but shared awareness makes us stronger. The May Kit is a thoughtful way to share clarity, confidence, and peace of mind with someone you care about—through practical tips, gentle reminders, and tools that help them stay one step ahead. Because a small heads-up can make a big difference.

Unpacking The May Kit
What's Inside

The Story Inside Your Kit

Tucked beneath the crinkle paper is a story—a moment that begins like so many real ones do. It's the heart of this kit, and every item inside was chosen to help rewrite the ending. It's an invitation to pause, reflect, and follow where the story leads.

"What's Your Scam Style?" Quiz

A quick, eye-opening quiz that helps recipients spot their own scam "blind spots" before a scammer does. It's fun, but also a little sneaky (in a good way): revealing the emotional triggers scammers love to use, like urgency or sympathy. Awareness is half the battle.

Top 5 Red Flags Magnet

A simple, powerful reminder to keep their guard up, right where they’ll see it. This magnet lists the top five warning signs of a scam (like urgency and secrecy.) It’s not flashy. It's not complicated. It's just what they need at exactly the right moment.

Stickers and Coasters

A little humor, a serious point. These stickers and coasters give a proud wink to anyone who's learned how to spot a scam from a mile away. Perfect for the fridge, the coffee table, or anywhere a small reminder to stay sharp (and stay proud) belongs.

One Month of TextSonny Scam Support

Real support, real fast. This gift card unlocks immediate, personal scam help through the TextSonny hotline. Because when something doesn’t feel right, no one should have to face it alone, wait on hold, or second-guess themselves.

Send it Forward and Share the Thanks

Care has a way of spreading. Each kit includes the chance to send one forward, and a moment to thank the person who sent it their way. It's how the chain of care grows, one thoughtful connection at a time.

"I didn’t expect a kit like this to hit so deeply. It wasn’t just thoughtful, it was useful. Every item felt like it had a purpose, and the whole thing made me feel seen and cared for. Plus, it kind of felt like Secret Santa! I sent one to a neighbor the very next day."

Why We Choose To Partner With TextSonny

At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: people need people. Community, connection, and a sense of belonging aren't luxuries—they’re essentials. No one should ever have to face scams, fear, or uncertainty alone. That’s why we partnered with TextSonny.

They deliver fast, personal scam guidance that’s easy to use, easy to trust, and built with heart. Their mission, to empower people with simple tools and real, human care, perfectly matches the spirit of The Neighbor Effect. And the fact that they’re a family-run business, treating every customer like their own neighbor, made it an even easier decision.

We built this kit to be more than a package. We built it to spark something: a reminder that care can still move from one hand to another, one neighbor to the next. We loved creating this kit, and we hope you find even more joy in sending it forward.

Where It Starts And Where It Could Go

We're kicking things off by sending kits to 50 neighborhoods—shared with care, curiosity, and the hope they'll keep traveling. These first kits are going to individuals we learned about through church bulletins, community newsletters, and local stories: people who are already making a difference right where they are.

If you received one, it's because we saw something in you: someone who shows up for others in meaningful ways.

Whether a kit landed on your doorstep or you heard about The Neighbor Effect another way, you're invited to take part. Send one forward. Share the message. Care Out Loud.
