United Way of Greater Nashua receives $13,000 grant

NASHUA – United Way of Greater Nashua’s efforts to support programs that address the region’s most pressing human service needs received a boost recently with a $13,000 grant from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation. The grant will be applied to several United Way-supported programs that collectively serve more than 23,000 children, families and elderly local residents. “During a time when nonprofit organizations are seeing much greater demand for services and reduced government assistance, this grant represents an important partnership in United Way’s work to address our community’s greatest health and human care needs,” said Paul Hebert, United Way of Greater Nashua president. United Way’s partnerships with nonprofit agencies help families attain economic self-sufficiency, improve the community’s health and help children reach their full potential. “Our long-standing support of United Way and its local agencies is based on a shared goal of strengthening communities and making opportunity possible,” said Ken Sheldon, Bank of America New Hampshire president. “This grant will enhance several programs in the Nashua area that have already proven incredibly effective.”
