Grant money supports camp for children
Child and Family Services of New Hampshire recently received grants from the Agnes Lindsay Trust and the Alexander Eastman Trust to send children from the Derry area to Camp Spaulding. The Agnes Lindsay Trust donated $2,000 and the Alexander Eastman Trust donated $6,615.
Grants will provide camp assistance to low-income, at risk-children, which will enable them to experience two weeks of residential camping.
Camp Spaulding is an overnight summer camp for boys and girls ages 8 to 14 that serves more than 300 campers throughout the summer. For information visit cfsnh.org.
