We are proud to be able to say that in our first 13 years we gave over $100,000 to charity. With the help of our volunteers and the community that supports us, we were able to donate $54,000 in 2016. The charities we are donating to in 2017 are the NH Food Bank, Rockingham Meals On Wheels, and three other local charities. 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 2016 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 provides peace of mind. NHRF also donates to two local food pantries and to Granite States Arts Academy. GSAA is a high school dedicated to the arts with a curriculum that integrates the arts and academics. Being here as a patron of our Faire, you are also helping these organizations and your neighbors in need.
