Nashua Center is celebrating its 50th Anniversary!

It is an exciting and historic time for the New Hampshire non-profit, which was founded in 1973 for children whose disabilities prevented them from participating in any existing public or private educational programs.

Over the years the organization has grown and expanded and now provides exceptional specialized care and supports for more than 350 individuals of all ages throughout Southern NH.

The planning for the 50th Anniversary is moving forward. The first of these activities will be the annual Taste Of The Towns fundraiser on April 20th at the beautiful LaBelle Winery in Derry, New Hampshire. The details are spelled out here on the Nashua Center website. 

Nashua Center Executive Director Emily Manire notes, “Other exciting events are coming, and in the midst of this celebratory time we want you to know that we need continued strong participation and further support more than ever. Individual involvement is needed now."

Anyone wanting more information can contact Emily Manire directly: 603.883.6163, extension 33, or email emanire@nashuacenter.org. ”
