While things aren’t always easy, it’s so nice to see that New Hampshirites are always will to help a stranger. Whether it’s neighbors helping each other dig out from a massive snowstorm or making sure that kids get to school on time, there’s something about the Granite State that brings out some serious kindness. We’ve been seeing it a lot more these days and it’s heartwarming. Here’s a great example of a local business helping out! Have another spot that could use a little support right now?

While we can’t be sure if this will continue, they’ve asked for donations which is a promising sign that they’ll try to keep this up.
