Mission Renovate & Restore – Combating Veteran Homelessness in New Hampshire
|
Would you like to make an impact on the lives of homeless and at-risk veterans here in New Hampshire? Liberty House (a program of Catholic Charities NH) launched
Mission Renovate & Restore, a special campaign raising funds to nearly triple the capacity of the program’s sober transitional living housing in Manchester and open its doors to more veteran populations, including disabled and retired veterans. Thanks to the incredible generosity of an anonymous donor, the first $250,000 in donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar between now and July 30!
