We were honored to celebrate the ribbon cutting of The Granite YMCA of Somersworth Child Care Center yesterday. Access to quality, affordable early care and education is critical for New Hampshire’s working families, and it sets the foundation for families to grow and prosper within our communities. Congratulations to all the partners that came together to make this possible.
We're thrilled to celebrate the ribbon cutting of our newly renovated early learning spaces AND break ground on a brand-new playground at The Granite YMCA of Somersworth Child Care Center. These upgrades expand our capacity to serve up to 134 children—supporting working families and helping kids learn, grow, and thrive. 🌟 A heartfelt thank you to our incredible partners and donors for making this vision a reality: 💙 Community Development Finance Authority 💙 Somersworth NH Economic Development Office 💙 Granite United Way 💙 George W. Merck Fund 💙 New Hampshire Charitable Foundation's NH Tomorrow Fund 💙 Granite State Credit Union We can't wait to see the smiles, curiosity, and growth these new spaces will inspire for years to come! 💫 #GraniteYMCA #StrongerTogether #RibbonCutting #Groundbreaking #CommunityImpact

Today’s #ThankfulThursday is dedicated to Camden National Bank and their generous support of Family Promise of Southern New Hampshire’s transitional housing project in Derry. “Community and giving back have been at the heart of Camden National Bank for 150 years,” Renée Smyth, the executive vice president and chief experience & marketing officer at Camden National Bank, said. “Our investment in transitional housing reflects our deep commitment to helping families build sustainable, independent futures.”
We’re proud to support Family Promise of Southern NH with a $55,000 donation for their new Derry, NH, facility!💙 Their work helps families break the cycle of homelessness through safe housing and financial education.
