About this event
Help us clothe and feed the homeless through Amherst Helps the Homeless, a charity drive hosted by the Congregational Church of Amherst, UCC, in observance of the National Day of Service on Monday, January 18th (MLK Day).
Community donations of winter clothes and easy-to-eat food will support the Michael Stephen Boyd Memorial Foundation. Donations are distributed several days a week to homeless encampments in Nashua and Manchester. Your donations will have an immediate impact.
There are three easy ways to give:
1. Amazon Wish List
Use the Michael Stephen Boyd Memorial Foundation Amazon Wish List and have the donated items shipped directly to the Foundation.
2. Drive-by Drop Off (Must wear a mask; COVID-19 precautions will be observed.)
Drop off your items in front of the Congregational Church of Amherst, 11 Church St., Amherst, NH 03031:
Sunday, January 17th 2:00-4:00 p.m., or
Monday, January 18th 10:00a.m.-12:00p.m.
Please only donate items on the following list:
• Clothing: Gently used men’s coats, boots (men & women), gloves (men & women), men’s hoodies/sweatshirts, sweatpants (men & women), leggings, and tarps. Larger sizes of clothing are preferred for layering.
