🎤 March Program

The Common Man for Ukraine will share about their volunteer trips delivering over 22 tons of food, generators, and supplies to frontline Ukrainian villages.

💙 Charity of the Month: Veterans Home – Sunshine Cart

Requested donations include:  Shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, toothpaste & brushes, alcohol-free mouthwash, denture cream, large-print puzzle books (crossword, Sudoku), adult coloring books, colored pencils, puzzles, hard candies, and crew socks.  The men and women are always so appreciative of our generosity.

We are also collecting Beanie Babies and cash for The Common Man to distribute to children in Ukraine.  The beanie Babies can be purchased at Ocean State Job Lot for around $5.99

🍎 SOMETHING NEW! FUELING FUTURES

We are collecting individual snacks for students at Moultonborough Central School. The staff was so appreciative of February’s donations!  Ideas include: individual-sized chips, fruit roll-ups, granola bars, Goldfish, etc.  🚫 Please NO peanut butter due to classroom allergies.  This initiative supports students who may come to school without a snack and helps teachers avoid out-of-pocket expenses. It’s another meaningful way we support young learners in our community.

🚗 Parking Reminder

• Please leave the closest spaces for members with limited mobility.

• Park diagonally along the road into the lot to maximize space and keep cars safely off Route 109A.
