Volunteer Opportunities at the Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter – an Invitation

The Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter is dedicated to providing shelter and food to those in need. The overall objective of the agency is to advocate, create, and operate programs and services that promote dignity and self-sufficiency for those we serve. To ensure that basic needs are addressed, the NSK&S is committed to joining with others in a community-wide ethic of caring. We can't do this without the aid of our amazing community and we need your help!
