​5 Bedford NH Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

BEDFORD, NH — If you’re like many of your Bedford neighbors, you may spend a good part of the holiday season with your credit card in hand buying gifts for family and friends. Coming up soon is a chance to give back to the local community.

Giving Tuesday, which in 2024 falls on Dec. 3, is a day dedicated to supporting nonprofit and community groups. Since 2012, nonprofits worldwide have used the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to galvanize fundraising, rally volunteers and add momentum to their causes.

Maintaining funding is a constant challenge for many nonprofits that fill gaps and meet other needs in the Bedford area.

Here are five local nonprofits to consider getting behind on Giving Tuesday:

1. Bedford Community Food Pantry: The org assists those with food insecurity.
2. Best Buddies of New Hampshire: A leadership org helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
3. Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire: A pet adoption and surrender service.
4. Steele Foundation for Hope: Provides access to essential services and products around the world.
5. Cogswell Benevolent Trust: Offering grants to nonprofits.
