The Poverello Center, Inc. receives grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Ronald P. Bourgeault Charitable Fund for general support.

The Poverello Center, Inc. recently received a $1,000 grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. The grant will help further The Poverello Center, Inc.’s mission of providing nutritious food, health services, and basic living essentials with the highest degree of understanding, respect, and love for individuals living with critical and chronic illnesses including HIV, in South Florida by helping us pay an electrician and plumber to install a new water heater for showers.

The Poverello Center, Inc. offers showers, and provides hygiene packs to about 230 people each month. Without support like that provided by New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Ronald P. Bourgeault Charitable Fund, we wouldn’t be able to offer the simple support of a warm shower to the unhoused.
