The grant is part of a planned $10 million commitment from the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation to support individuals, families and small businesses in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island adversely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. $3 million of these funds will directly assist nonprofits that are providing relief services amid the current crisis.
The Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation also recently granted $50,000 to the New Hampshire Food Bank, a program of Catholic Charities NH, to help purchase food to support food-insecure households statewide.
Catholic Charites NH’s Immigration Legal Services program provides low-income individuals with high-quality legal consultation and representation for a variety of immigration needs, such as naturalization, asylum and family reunification.
