Our Season of Giving


This year our offices chose to contribute to the Toys for Tots campaign and the Soup Kitchen. We are pleased to announce that both campaigns were a great success.  We collected and donated close to 300 new toys to the Toys for Tots and 7 boxes of food to the Nashua Soup Kitchen.  But our campaigns would not have been such a success if not for the generosity of the people who would stop by the office and donate food and toys to these charities.  At a time when the economy is not at its best and many people are struggling to provide for their own families, many will always find a way to give whatever they can so that those less fortunate can also enjoy the holidays.

What we need to remember is that these charities need our assistance year round and not just during the holidays. 

Campaign Coordinators conduct an array of activities throughout the year, which include golf tournaments, foot races, bicycle races, bike rides and other purely voluntary events designed to increase interest in Toys for Tots, and concurrently generate toy and monetary donations.

Like many soup kitchens, lines start forming early in the morning.  For the first time in over 30 years the Nashua Soup kitchen has served more than 250 dinners in one evening, 5 times a week. This does not include the families and individuals who receive non perishable foods each week.

Donors make all the difference in the lives of the men, women and families who depend on these charities. Your generosity not only helps to provide meals and toys, but also hope to those who are less fortunate.

We thank you for your help in support and best for a wonderful New Year.
