For the last few months, we focused our Community Outreach efforts on drives to collect donations for awesome local organizations. First, during our November Food Drive, we donated 20 boxes of food and $1,484.51 to the Friendly Kitchen. Then we had our Toy Drive in December, where we collected 15 boxes of toys and an impressive $2,573.52 for Nashua PAL.
Throughout January, we collected warm, winter clothing for our allies at Friends of Forgotten Children in Concord. We are happy to report that it was an overwhelming success! We donated $1,860.77 and over 45 boxes of clothing. There were so many boxes that we had to rent a van to deliver them.
Thank you to everyone who donated clothing items and cash for this amazing local non-profit! Our partners at Friends of Forgotten Children were incredibly thankful for everything they received.
In Chichester, we collected over 22 boxes of warm clothing and $1,020.77 in cash!
In Merrimack, we collected over 22 boxes of clothes and $840.21 in cash!
GraniteLeaf for Medical Debt Relief
In case you missed our original announcement a few days ago, we are currently taking on an ambitious Community Outreach project aimed at eliminating burdensome medical debts for New Hampshire families. We are doing this in partnership with Undue Medical Debt, a national nonprofit dedicated to relieving the burden of medical debt across the United States. Our goal is to raise $20,000, which would enable us to eliminate around $2 million dollars of outstanding medical debt in NH.
GraniteLeaf will collect cash donations at both dispensary locations and match them up to $5,000 to maximize impact. We are also seeking support from local businesses, organizations, and individuals who are willing to make tax-deductible contributions through our campaign page.
All donations will go directly toward purchasing and forgiving debts in New Hampshire through Undue Medical Debt, beginning with Merrimack County. Any support you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
