As Thanksgiving approaches, Senator Chris Dodd today announced that his campaign will kick off a statewide initiative called the "Season of Service." Dodd is asking the people of New Hampshire to donate items in an effort to give back to the community and to help those in need. The Dodd campaign will collect non-perishable food items such as canned goods, as well as clothing, books, and other items at their office in Manchester through December 12. The campaign will then donate the goods to a local nonprofit organization for distribution.
"The people of New Hampshire have a strong tradition of looking out for their neighbors and coming together as a community. Jackie and I want to do everything we can to help in that effort. Whether it's a warm winter coat or a truckload of groceries, every can counts toward making a difference in the lives of others. I hope that people across the state will join us in thinking of those in need this holiday season."
A former Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic, Dodd has introduced a comprehensive national service plan called the American Service Initiative. More information about the plan is available at http://chrisdodd.com/issues/national_service.
