  • Assisting with grocery and nutritious food deliveries to local food pantries that serve meals to our community members.
  • Delivering meals to homebound seniors in Hillsborough County through Meals on Wheels.
  • Partnering with an elementary school student to write monthly letters through the school year to increase the student's grammar, spelling and penmanship skills.
  • Providing counseling to individuals incarcerated through the New Hampshire Department of Corrections with professional training and support.

We also provide volunteer opportunities to complete court-appointed Community Service hours.
