(Concord, NH) – The Finlay Foundation, dedicated to sparking a renewed commitment statewide to cultural, civic and community involvement, today issued a challenge to help a vital organization continue serving children and families in need through the struggling economy.

August 25th, 2009 - Since 2006, the Finlay Foundation has dedicated itself to improving the quality of life for Granite State residents by assisting children and families in need and promoting an array of forward-thinking cultural and educational initiatives.

One of the causes the Finlay Foundation has committed itself to has been Friends of Forgotten Children, which each year assists thousands of area families through their most difficult times with food, clothing, toys and Christmas gifts.

During THESE DIFFICULT ECONOMIC TIMES more and more people are in need of assistance for the basic necessities of food, clothing and personal items. This is extremely taxing, considering that fewer people HAVE MONEY TO PART WITH, no matter how worthy the cause.

Friends of Forgotten Children is proud to announce in conjunction with the Greater Concord Interfaith Council, its participation in the 50th annual Lenten Luncheons.

On March 28th at 10am, Friends of Forgotten Children will be holding its annual bowl-a-thon, at Boutwell's bowling center on North State St in Concord.

Concord, New Hampshire, November 8, 2007 - Ten sailors assigned to the Navy's fast attack submarine USS New Hampshire delivered over 250 food items collected from a food drive on their base in Groton, CT to the Friends of Forgotten Children (FOFC) this past weekend. Two representatives of the Family Readiness Group accompanied their husbands on their five hour round trip to assist in the delivery. Upon their arrival, in true US Navy tradition, the sailors were "piped aboard" to the US Navy song "Anchor's Aweigh" by newly assigned Executive Director William Dearborn of Epsom on the bagpipes.
