150 Turkeys Donated To Community Action Program

CONCORD, NH — The Community Action Program of Belknap-Merrimack Counties received a large donation of locally sourced turkeys this year from NG Advantage. The company – which runs the largest virtual pipeline of trailer fleets, shipping natural gas around the United States – delivered the turkeys on Friday. The birds – which were from Market Basket in Hooksett – will be distributed to local families.

“NG Advantage takes pride in doing what we can to be good partners in the communities we serve,” said NG Advantage CEO Rico Biasetti in a statement. “But we want to take that a step further this season, and call on our neighbors and partners in the business community to join us in the spirit of giving. Ultimately, none of our businesses can be successful without a strong community to support our work, and we all have a responsibility to help ensure these communities stay strong.”

The CAP – which has centers in Concord, Franklin, Meredith, Suncook, and Warner – organizes food donations, support services, and financial needs in both Belknap and Merrimack Counties.

“Our organization is so thankful for our community partnerships which are integral to our charitable and daily outreach,” said Sheree Westerlund, director of Suncook Area Center. “NG Advantage’s generous donation helps provide critical resources for families who often have to choose between meals or their electric bills.”

The center will be delivering meals to around 300 families in all five communities this holiday season.

Later this year, they will be accepting toy donations for Allenstown and Pembroke. Those toys can be dropped off at local centers in all five communities. For more information, call 603-485-7824.
