FEEDNH.org Donates $20K To Salvation Army Bell Ringers

BEDFORD, NH — FEEDNH.org donated a pretty big check to the Salvation Army Friday in Bedford.

The org, which is the charitable trust of Great NH Restaurants, in partnership with Tito's Handmade Vodka, made a $20,000 donation, which will be shared with corps in Laconia, Manchester, Nashua, and Salem.

"With anticipation that the kettles would be slow this year due to national hardships and fear from COVID-19, we felt the Salvation Army could benefit from a donation now more than ever," said Lisa Allen, the board chairwoman of FEEDNH.org. "We are excited to kick off the giving season and encourage those who are able to come out and contribute to their local Salvation Army kettle."

The mission of FEEDNH.org is to strengthen New Hampshire communities through philanthropic collaboration, dedicated employee involvement and volunteerism benefiting local Families, Elderly, Education, and Disadvantaged. The Salvation Army works to serve all people and provides services such as; nutritious meals for older adults, shelter for the homeless, addiction services, after-school tutoring, assist in sending inner-city children to summer camp, and more.
