January Spotlight Information

We highlighted the following organizations this year at our January 2023 meeting

Brigid’s House of Hope is a long term, transitional safe house for survivors of Human Trafficking in New Hampshire and surrounding areas.

End 68 Hours of Hunger addresses the food shortage children experience between the free lunch they receive at school on Friday afternoon and the free breakfast they receive at school on Monday morning, 68 hours later.

Family Promise

Through safe housing and education, Family Promise guides families as they break the cycle and rise from homelessness to sustainable independence.

The Homeland Heroes Foundation offers an array of supportive services to active-duty service members, veterans, and their families in their time of need to help restore a sense of community, independence, and well-being at home.
