The roster of organizations taking part in this year’s NH Gives – a 24-hour fundraiser from 5 p.m. Tuesday to 5 p.m. Wednesday – shows the breadth and depth of local nonprofit organizations that are worthy of support.

There’s John Humiston American Legion Post No. 11 in Jaffrey, which provides support to veterans and military families, hosts community activities and provides money for charities and scholarship funds. The post is raising money for repairs to the bathrooms, making the post compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and potentially adding a new lift, ramps and other amenities to the 100-year-old building.

Monadnock Worksource in Peterborough provides support, training and guidance for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities so they can pursue their interests and talents and participate in their community as independently as possible. They are looking for support to continue “providing the ‘essential services’ that allow adults who experience disabilities to live with dignity and purpose, making their own life decisions, as valued and contributing members of their local communities.”

The Harris Center for Conservation Education in Hancock is raising money in support of its efforts to provide local students with classroom education about the environment and outdoor excursions, protect land and provide trails throughout the Monadnock region and conduct conservation research.

Community Volunteer Transportation Company (CVTC) provides transportation to people who don’t have access to a vehicle due to age, finances, ability or other circumstances. Volunteer drivers provide trips to non-emergency medical appointments, social services or to the grocery store, bank, post office or pharmacy. In addition to funds, CVTC is always seeking volunteer drivers for the 34 towns it serves.

Organizations such as Friends of the Greenfield Community Meetinghouse and the Ingalls 1894 Association in Rindge are working to preserve, protect and restore historic buildings. Greenfield Meetinghouse dates back to 1795 and is the oldest meetinghouse in New Hampshire, and Ingalls Memorial Library was established in 1895 in memory of Sophia Ingalls Wallace after her husband Rodney Wallace proposed funding a library supported by the town and community.

These are a small sampling of the local participants in NH Gives. To donate, go to nhgives.org and search by town, organization or interest. The organizations will appreciate and benefit from your support, and the community will benefit from the good work these organizations do.
