Community Caregivers joined more than 50+ exhibitors at the recent Senior Wellness Festival.

Charlotte Leavitt, RN, co-founder of Community Caregivers, participated on the “Local Volunteer Opportunities” panel. She shared the history, mission, program options and opportunities available to our volunteers. Community Caregivers is blessed with a dedicated team of volunteers, loyal supporters and a mission that provides our neighbors with supportive services and information to assist them in their daily lives.  Our volunteers shared their enthusiasm for our mission, the rewards of sharing their time and talents, and how community service has enriched their lives.

Grants

The Caswell Family Foundation

Hollis and Dorothy Caswell of the Caswell Family Foundation are special friends of Community Caregivers. They support the mission of Community Caregivers to provide supportive services and information for our neighbors by assisting them in their daily lives

The Caswell Foundation provided the initial funds to underwrite our quarterly newsletter. Recently, they awarded another grant to our organization. These funds will be used to continue to publish the quarterly newsletter and to improve other means of communications with neighbors who enjoy the caring support from our volunteers.  Improved communications will encourage the general public to learn more about our mission and how they might make a difference in the lives of our neighbors by also supporting Caregivers.

The Foundation President, Dorothy Caswell, commented that, "this grant is to be used for further assistance with programs which demonstrate care, concern, and appreciation for the volunteers and their dedicated service to our neighbors." 

We are grateful for the friendship and caring from the Caswells, our special friends.

Meredith Village Savings Bank

Community Caregivers is pleased to announce a recent grant award from the Meredith Village Savings Bank Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. This grant will be used to upgrade technology and support continuing education for the staff.

The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation has been improving the quality of life in our communities since 1962. It builds and manages a collection of charitable funds, totaling nearly $490 million, created by individuals, families and corporations.

The Meredith Village Savings Bank Advisory Committee, on behalf of the nonprofit community, commented, “Congratulations to you on your work and your unselfish efforts to help make Central New Hampshire a better place.”
