Lakes Region Community Developers Dipjar now at Trustworthy Hardware

LACONIA — During the month of May, Trustworthy Hardware on Union Avenue in Laconia is hosting the Dipjar traveling around the region in 2018 as part of the 25^th anniversary celebration of Lakes Region Community Developers.  The Dipjar accepts $1 credit card donations to support LRCD’s work to provide healthy homes for working families. LRCD offers 365 affordable apartments that are safe, offer good air quality, and are energy-efficient.

“Kids who live in healthy homes do better in school because they don’t get sick as often. Parents who live in healthy homes don’t have to take as much time off from work to care for a sick child. Families who live in healthy homes don’t spend 35 percent of their monthly income on high utility bills, so they have enough money for food and transportation. Healthy homes are the foundation of a healthy community,” said Carmen Lorentz, LRCD executive director.

Trustworthy was eager to participate in LRCD’s 25^th anniversary celebration by hosting the Dipjar. Trustworthy started 2018 off with a campaign called “Go A Bit Further” to remind people to take that extra step to help someone else in your community. Hosting the Dipjar is one way that Trustworthy feels they can Go A Bit Further and they hope their customers will respond by making a donation to help LRCD provide healthy homes for our region’s workforce. Last year, LRCD residents worked for 125 different local businesses.

Trustworthy is located at 1084 Union Avenue Laconia. For more information about LRCD’s 25^th anniversary, visit LRCommunityDevelopers.org.
