Thanks to the generosity of attendees, the New Hampshire Campground Owners Association (NeHaCa) collected 6,891 lbs. of food at their annual New Hampshire Camping & RV Show held at the NH Sportsplex in Bedford in late March, in a press release.

The food donation will provide approximately 5,743 meals to those in need throughout New Hampshire. For the past four years, NeHaCa has run a food donation drive at their Camping & RV Show, giving attendees $2 off admission with a donation of two non-perishable food items for the Food Bank.

“We are pleased to provide a venue for camping enthusiasts to contribute and help make a difference in the lives of families throughout New Hampshire.” said NeHaCa Executive Director Gregg Pitman.
