For the month of December 2024 the Community Action Partnership for Hillsborough and Rockingham Counties Fuel & Electric Assistance Program is the outreach offering recipient.

In the program year 2024, the Community Action Partnership for Hillsborough and Rockingham Counties, formerly Southern NH Services, Inc., served and helped 15,000 households in their Fuel & Electric Programs in New Hampshire.  Your donations were placed in the Crisis Program Funds, called Private Donations.  Last year, your donations helped 14 households by keeping their homes warm and utilities on.  Your donations last year also helped 2 families, who were facing eviction due to the cost of fuel, food and housing, be able to stay in their homes.  With your donations, CAP HR is able to help keep families in their homes, keep them warm in the cold months and keep their electricity on.

 

The UU Church of Nashua has community outreach at the center of our core values. We strive to have an active presence in the community and look for areas where we can lend a hand and make a difference. Our goal is not just to provide financial assistance, but also to encourage congregational participation, and to raise awareness among members of the associated social and economic issues.

Since 2003, we have donated our entire collection plate to organizations doing important work in our community. The Community Outreach Team is a sub-team of the Social Justice Team. It helps coordinate many of the outreach programs and gives support to other outreach initiatives taking place in our church. Our Outreach Team organizes the yearly calendar, receives and reviews requests, selects the monthly recipient and arranges for speakers at Sunday Services. To date we have raised and given away over $400,000 for dozens of different community organizations.
