by John Heropoulos for Way Station NH
The Way Station is delighted to announce it has received a $30,000 grant to be awarded over three years by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. The grant will be used by the Way Station to sustain and grow operations in support of the homeless and housing insecure in the Mt Washington Valley.
The Way Station provides immediate relief, food, clothing, camping necessities, a place to shower, mail box services and laundry/phone/gas cards. It provided help to over 1,300 households in 2022.
The homeless and housing insecure community are individuals, families, children, youth and senior citizens. The homeless, during all seasons, but especially in the winter are struggling to survive. They live in cars, camp in the woods and travel from place to place in an effort to survive the bitter cold and other adverse conditions throughout the year. The Way Station, many times, is the last best hope for this community by offering tents, sleeping bags, winter clothing, hot coffee and food.
