NHWBA's Annual Food Drive Continues
|
For the eighth consecutive year, the NHWBA will be collecting food and monetary donations to help feed hungry families here in New Hampshire. From April 13th to May 11th, the NHWBA will be collecting canned or boxed food items and monetary donations for the New Hampshire Food Bank. Checks should be made payable to "NH Food Bank" and sent to NHWBA at P. O. Box 915, Manchester, NH 03105. Food donations made within individual firms and offices will be collected by NHWBA representatives from May 9th to May 11th. If you would like to collect items at your office or would like to donate items and need to know where to bring them, please contact Gretchen Pyles. All food items and monetary donations collected during the drive will benefit the New Hampshire Food Bank to help with the increased need for food during the summer months. Specifically, the New Hampshire Food Bank and local food pantries have the added strain of families needing more food because they cannot rely on the schools for hot lunches for their children. Donations of all sizes are welcome and encouraged. Thank you to all who donate to the NHWBA's Food Drive!
