​5 Merrimack Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

MERRIMACK, NH — If you’re like many of your Merrimack 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 Merrimack area.

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

1. Saint John Neumann Parish: Food pantry and outreach.
2. Merrimack Community Food Pantry: Food pantry at St. James United Methodist Church
3. YMCA of Greater Nashua: Merrimack's YMCA
4. Our Lady of Mercy Church: Youth and adult outreach and faith.
5. Merrimack NH Drive-through Food Pantry: A drive-thru food pantry.
