Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at FIT-NH!
From the staff, the leadership team, and the board at Families in Transition-New Horizons, happy holidays and thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for gifting us with the grace of your time, your attention, your generosity, and your consideration for those we aim to serve in the Granite State.
We've continued to persevere and remain resilient in our efforts to support people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity through trying times this year, all thanks to you! The power and support of the community are carrying us through, and we can't thank you enough. Because of your support, we have accomplished so much through the trials of a challenging year. We've included just a few things for you to reflect on.
Delivering "Tons of Turkeys"
Thank you to Hannaford Supermarkets and 96.5 The Mill for helping us put together another successful Tons of Turkeys event! Despite changes to our distribution, we were able to give out 723 turkeys to members of the Manchester community (that's over 5 tons of turkey!)
Celebrating Our Thanksgiving Breakfast, Virtually
For the twenty-seventh consecutive year, we invited FIT-NH family and friends to grab their seat at the table as part of this annual fundraiser to support our mission. It looked a little different this year, yet it went on, just like our essential services do.
Thank you to all of our sponsors, guests, table captains, and all those who fundraised and donated to help us celebrate our 27th Annual Thanksgiving Breakfast as a virtual event. Ticket proceeds and donations will be directed at programs and services that help people in need in New Hampshire.
In case you missed it, you can still watch the recording of the livestream broadcast on our social media pages.
