Willing Hands

By Deborah Schachter on Saturday, April 25, 2009.

Every week, a white van loaded with fresh produce makes its way around the Upper Valley, dropping off fresh, nutritious food for families in need. The van belongs to Willing Hands, a non-profit dedicated to bringing good food to the hungry. John Layton drives the van.

Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association

By Deborah Schachter on Saturday, April 11, 2009.

The Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association started in 1899 with nurses on bicycles, pedaling around the city to provide care and comfort to the ill. The technology has changed, but the philosophy has not.

John Teague and his siblings called the VNA when first, their father and then their mother needed hospice care at the end of their lives.

By Deborah Schachter on Saturday, April 4, 2009.

Typical car loans come at high rates of interest – even higher for people whose credit is not top-notch. So people who can least afford major car repairs and gas-guzzling vehicles end up driving unreliable cars that get bad mileage.

Bonnie CLAC gives financial literacy training and guarantees their loans – so they can afford reliable, fuel-efficient cars.

Diane Brodericks is one of those people.
