Get Involved With The Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire
The Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire works to visibly honor and celebrate a truer more inclusive state’s history through exhibits, programs and tours that can change the way our country understands human dignity when it is free of historical stereotypes. We invite individuals, foundations, corporations, and other organizations to discover how you can be part of this historic endeavor in exploration, interpreting and sharing of New Hampshire's African-American history.
Giving Tuesday Food Drive
Help BHTNH give back to our community. From December 2 to December 6. From 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM , we will hold a Giving Tuesday Food Drive at our offices in downtown Portsmouth. Please bring non-perishable food or personal care items to our office during that week. You will receive 10% off a purchase from our gift shop. All donations go to Gather in Portsmouth, which works for a hunger-free community.
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day encouraging people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires millions to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Giving Tuesday is on December 3 this year.
