We are proud to be able to say that in our first 10 years we gave over $56,497 to charity. With the help of our volunteers and the community that supports us, we were able to donate $33,000 in 2015. The two charities we are donating to in 2016 are the NH Food Bank and the Rockingham County Nutrition & Meals on Wheels. As the only food bank in state, the NH Food Bank is a vital distributor and supplier to the hunger relief agencies that serve meals and provide groceries to people experiencing the negative impacts of not having enough to eat. On average these agencies receive 40% of their food from the NH Food Bank. There aren't enough words to describe the good work the NH Food Bank does. In 2015 the Food Bank distributed over 12 million pounds of non-perishable food items, fresh produce, and meats to over 400 non-profit food agencies in all corners of NH. Rockingham Meals on Wheels began in 1978. In the first year about 60,000 meals were served, all in community dining halls. There were no Meals on Wheels at that time. Thirty six years later, approximately 275,000 to 300,000 meals are served each year. The focus and mission of the program is to help people stay well by eating right, and to provide the safety and social supports that come with the program. Meals on Wheels nourishes the whole body and k/e.(/i(e.gd(aif 77-6 provides peace of mind.
