Join us for a fun and meaningful volunteer morning at Touchstone Farm, a therapeutic riding nonprofit that provides life-changing experiences for children and adults. Volunteers will help the farm prepare for winter by contributing to a variety of hands-on projects:

Cleaning up the gardens for winter (nippers recommended)

Thinning out the lending library

Thinning out the lending closet

Cleaning windows and mirrors

Cleaning paddocks (a physically demanding task involving shoveling manure)

Originally, we had planned a Gleaning United apple-picking event, but that location became unavailable this year. This alternative opportunity at Touchstone Farm is just as impactful, helping the organization manage increased costs for horse supplies and maintain a welcoming environment for their participants.
We are grateful for all the support helping Touchstone Farm get ready for winter!

Skydive United

We’ve all heard about the community safety net… but what does it really mean to have a strong safety net?

It means that homeless kids don’t fall through the cracks. It means that families have access to high quality childcare, dental care, and other social supports. It means that families experiencing homelessness can regain financial stability through transitional housing programs. Basically, it means that nobody falls through the cracks. Together, we can work to create LASTING CHANGE which helps to ensure a safe, healthy, and strong community. That is the theme of this year’s SKYDIVE UNITED! Will you join me in supporting UNITED WAY’s social safety net fund which is dedicated to supporting the needs of our community? The need is great, and your support is INCREDIBLY appreciated.

On August 15 we’ll be jumping out of a (perfectly good) plane in order to make a statement that we are FEARLESS in our fight to build a stronger safety net. Thank you so much for YOUR SUPPORT!

For the adventurous, Skydive United offers a unique opportunity to jump out of a plane while raising money to end youth homelessness. Now in its seventh year, the event supports United Way’s Community Safety Net Fund – a fund that helps neighbors of all ages, from kids to seniors, get the essentials they need when life throws them a curveball. It supports programs for food, housing, health, and more, so no one falls through the cracks.
Last year’s event raised nearly $30,000. This is a very important fundraiser, and we are looking for more brave Skydivers!

Watch a video of last year’s jump HERE, and get inspired to be one of the amazing skydivers in 2025. If you want more information about sponsoring or jumping, please email Mike or Samantha: info@unitedwaynashua.org

Enjoy a night out while helping your neighbors during the United Way’s second annual Poker Hand Pub Crawl. Participants will visit 5 downtown Nashua venues, collecting playing cards with drink purchases. The best poker hand at the end wins a cash prize, and all proceeds benefit United Way programs focused on education, health, and financial stability.
Registration is $25 and includes event entry, a free drink, a map of participating locations, and chances to win raffle prizes. We love this event because it supports local businesses and it brings a great sense of camaraderie among community members including long-lasting friend groups and new friends you meet along the way!

Collect your cards and aim for the best hand possible as you navigate through the city, all while enjoying the lively atmosphere and camaraderie of fellow supporters. Folks will start at one bar as a big unit, rotate through three others in smaller groups (to allow for bars of all sizes to join in the event) and then end at the same place for awards and raffle prizes!
💰 The Ultimate Prize:
As the night unfolds, the stakes will rise, and anticipation will mount as participants vie for the coveted title of having the best poker hand. The lucky individual who holds the winning combination will take home a cash prize, making every card dealt a potential game-changer. It’s not just about the luck of the draw; it’s about rallying together as a community to make a difference.
🎉 Supporting a Worthy Cause:
By joining us for the Poker Hand Pub Crawl, you’re not only in for an unforgettable night of fun and entertainment but also making a meaningful impact in the Greater Nashua community. Every dollar raised goes directly towards supporting United Way’s vital initiatives, ensuring that individuals and families in need receive the assistance and resources they deserve.

Experience a night without “home” at United We Sleep. This event brings people together to discuss and become more aware about the issues of extreme poverty and homelessness. Come away with a better understanding of the hardships that the homeless go through. Through your participation and fundraising you are making the statement, “I care about my community”. Help increase awareness of a problem that won’t go away until we join together to solve it.
