PELHAM GOOD NEIGHBOR FUND
40TH ANNIVERSARY

The Pelham Good Neighbor Fund was established in 1969 by residents who wanted to help their Neighbors In Need at Christmas with food, clothing and toys, so they organized a food and donation drive in front of Purity Supreme at the Pelham Plaza with the help of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and members of the fire department who collected the donations. Other organizations who later got involved with the Annual Christmas Drive included the St. Patrick Knights of Columbus, Pelham Lions and Leo Club and the Boys Scouts. The Pelham Good Neighbor Fund expanded their program year round to include heat, electricity, food, rent and other household expenses. In 1991, the Pelham Good Neighbor Fund established the Sponsor-a-Child program to help families who needed assistance in providing Christmas gifts for their children. Since the program began, over 1100 children have received boots, clothing and toys. Over the last fifteen years, we have held our annual golf tournament at Campbell’s Scottish Highlands golf course in Salem, New Hampshire by a separate committee who is comprised of business people and residents in town. We also receive donations throughout the year from businesses, organizations, schools, churches, families and individuals. Since we are a non-profit charitable organization, all donations are tax deductible. These donations have made it possible to provide financial assistance to our Pelham residents for household expenses, the food pantry, an annual scholarship for a high school senior to attend college, financially supported a women’s and men’s shelter. In the last twelve years, we have coordinated the Annual Food Drive with the Post Office for St. Patrick Food Pantry. There are fourteen active members who meet on a regular basis. We are all volunteers who are dedicated and committed to helping our less fortunate residents in Pelham where 100% of the donations goes back into the community. We have helped over 2000 families in the last forty years. Our slogan is People Helping People and that has certainly been our experience in good times as well as bad times in the town of Pelham.
