Harbor Care Cancels Annual Thanksgiving Gathering

Nashua – Harbor Care announces it is cancelling its  20th  annual Thanksgiving dinner celebration due to COVID-19.  

In years past,  the dinner  served  about 300  individuals who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness,  and  brought  the community together in fellowship. Dozens of volunteers, including the Governor, members of  NH’s  congressional delegation, the mayor, and other state and local officials,  helped  make this event possible.  

“While it disappoints us greatly to cancel this community tradition, the safety of the individuals and families we serve is paramount,” states Peter Kelleher, Harbor Care’s CEO. “We  hope to  continue  our  Thanksgiving event  in the future when there are  safer operating conditions. While we won’t be holding a public gathering, the need  in our community is still there and intensifying. We will  be reaching out to our  vulnerable  community members to provide any assistance we can.”  

If a person or family is experiencing hardship, Harbor Care encourages you to reach out to us at 603-882-3616 or hope@harborcarenh.org.
