Mission Statement
We are citizen volunteers and human service professionals in partnership with our member agencies to improve the quality of life for all people in Merrimack County.

We build for the future by investing in the human capital of the community.

We do this by assembling financial and human resources contributed by the community, and focusing them on individuals and families at vulnerable times in their lives through the efforts we support.

We maintain the confidence of the community by doing this with efficiency, integrity, and accountability.
