THE PELHAM GOOD NEIGHBOR FUND ANNUAL DRIVE

The Pelham Good Neighbor Fund committee is asking for your support so that we will be able to help individuals and families during Christmas with food, clothing and toys for the children. We are asking individuals, families, businesses, organizations, schools, civic and church groups to be as generous as possible. Many families are having a difficult time meeting their household expenses, especially with the high cost of heating their homes resulting in no money leftover for Christmas gifts. We are in desperate need of people who would like to sponsor a child or family for Christmas or if you need help during the holidays please call one of the following people listed below. Your call will be handled in strict confidence.

Gerty Sousa – 603.635.9756 Bonnie Ward – 603.635.8537

Volunteers will be accepting donations of food and money on Saturday & Sunday, December 8 & 9, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. at Pelham Plaza in front of Hannaford Supermarket. There is also a container for food donations at the food pantry located behind St. Patrick Church. If you would like to make donations of a turkey or other food items, please call Jim Roche at 603.893.1713 or Frank Sullivan at 603.421.9111. The committee also uses the money collected during this drive to provide financial assistance 52 weeks a year for heating oil, electricity, rent, transportation and other household expenses.
