Programs described in its return (12)
- $2,687 spent. 1269 Cafe in Manchester NH serves the homeless in the community (day center, warming station, emergency shelter in the winter). This year we provided provided food products and supplies as needed (coffee, creamer, sugar, oatmeal, hot chocolate, cookies, personal care packages, feminine hygiene products, hats, gloves, etc.). Our primary donations this year were homemade baked goods (cookies, breads), meals (pasta bakes, chili, chicken bakes), and monthly dessert socials (pudding, cupcakes, ice cream, strawberry shortcake, root beer socials). Our in-person food events fed approximately 50-70 at each event. The number of people served by the center daily is a minimum of 50, can vary with weather conditions (increased during the winter months).
- $3,675 spent. Liberty House is a shelter and social services organization in Manchester NH that helps at-risk veterans (particularly homeless veterans, both in their shelter and those out in the elements). We provide food and supplies when critically needed. This year we provided gloves, socks, underwear, toiletries (razors, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap), laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and many food pantry donations (cereal, fruit snacks, pasta, tomato sauce, oatmeal, rice, snack packs, canned vegetables, coffee, canned pasta, etc.). We also provided many hot, homebaked goods (meatballs, cookies, breads, etc.). The number of people affected depends on the number of veterans in their shelter at any given time, and the number of homeless veterans reached by the organization.
- $2,855 spent. The Friends Program is a family shelter in Concord, NH. This year we donated food supplies, personal items (shampoo, conditioner, diapers, diaper wipes, etc.), household goods (microwave, etc) as needed, as well as WalMart gift cards. We also provided homemade meals and desserts for the residents (homemade chicken noodle soup, chili, pasta bakes, ice cream sundaes, cookies, breads). We also started to give "Tina's Buckets of Love" (3 buckets/baskets full of starter household items) when families move out of the shelter and into permanent housing. The shelter houses several families at any given time, so the number of people affected depended on how many families were in residence at the time of each donation.
