ROCHESTER - A Pocket ECG Machine, books for a newly established book club and vacuum cleaners to keep offices and residence areas clean are just a few of the items Hope on Haven Hill can now buy thanks to a $3,000 Elks grant.
The Rochester nonprofit, located on Charles Street, provides residential, outpatient and recovery support substance use disorder services for pregnant, post-partum and parenting women throughout New Hampshire.
They also provide recovery support housing for women and their children as well as case-coordination for women seeking resources and support on their journey to access treatment and recovery support services.
The Rochester Elks will use the money from a recently acquired grant to purchase a variety of other items as well collected from a HHH wish list.
Rochester Elks Lodge #1393 members contribute to the community through various programs, including Student Scholarships, Americanism, Veterans Activities, Youth Activities, Drug Awareness Program, and Community Service.
