Dear Manchester Christian Church,

Thank your for your recent donation of new blankets, sheets and towels to New Horizons for New Hampshire! Your generosity came at a perfect time for us - when we were busy meeting the holiday and cold weather needs of the many people who depend on us. We truly appreciate that you choose to support New Horizons. 

We invite you to come and take a guided tour of New Horizons and see firsthand the work being done with your support. Tours are generally held on the second Thursday of the month. Our next tour is on Thursday, February 10th at noon. There is no need to RSVP. 

New Horizons and Angie’s Shelter for Women continue to meet the immediate needs of food and shelter while also working with clients to help them achieve self-sufficiency. Your support is an important of this work.

Warmly,

Mary Silva
Food Service Manager

That’s the number of items collected for New Horizons Soup Kitchen & Shelter today! Another awesome Sunday at MCC!!

New Horizons is currently looking for volunteers in the following areas:

Van Drivers for weekdays 8:00 a.m. - 11:00a.m.
Use New Horizons vehicles to pick up food donations at area grocery stores, restaurants and businesses.  Drivers must have valid drivers license, great driving record and be able to lift and move 50 pounds.

Soup Kitchen Meal Preparation
Help prepare dinner for Soup Kitchen guests.  Any hours between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. are appreciated.  Dinner is not just soup.  A full meal with salad and dessert is served daily.

Soup Kitchen Meal Serving
Teams or groups of people are needed to serve dinner each evening.  This is a great way for coworkers to get together and do something to help our community.  A senior meal is served at 3:00 p.m. Monday – Friday.  The main meal is 4:30 p.m. daily. The volunteer commitment is serving dinner followed by helping to clean the kitchen and yes, dishes.

Food Pantry Food Sorting
A great number of items are donated to New Horizons on a daily basis.  Volunteers are needed to sort, put away and put together bags of food for distribution to the families and individuals who rely upon the Food Pantry.  Various hours during the week are available.

Food Pantry Food Distribution
The Food Pantry distributes food on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. as well as on Thursday evenings from 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.  Volunteer responsibilities are to help distribute food items to clients, helping them get items to their cars, and helping to clean up when pantry distribution is over.

Special Projects
New Horizons and Angie’s Shelter are always in need of help with special projects like administrative tasks, painting, cleaning, organizing and other projects as they present themselves.  Many groups, schools, churches and businesses conduct food drives on our behalf as well.  We are happy to help to coordinate activities like these.

Call (603) 668-1877 ext. 122 or email Kitchen.Pantry.Manager@newhorizonsfornh.org for more information or to make arrangements to volunteer.

We ask that all volunteers call the volunteer coordinator at (603) 668-1877 ext. 122 to coordinate a time to come in to work. New Horizons is committed to making your volunteer experience enjoyable and rewarding.
