MEREDITH — Heart & Hands Thrift Shop was honored to receive a grant in December from the Bishop's Charitable Assistance Fund for infrastructure items: electrical, shelving, lighting and signage.

The Bishop's Charitable Assistance Fund makes grants to tax-exempt organizations without regard to religious affiliation for projects that help people in New Hampshire meet their basic needs. The fund is operated by volunteer lay men and women who serve as directors and who make recommendations to the Bishop of Manchester for grants to any organization in New Hampshire whose mission is consistent with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The fund raises money through solicitation of individuals, businesses and philanthropic organizations. An annual accounting of funds raised and disbursements is available at www.catholicnh.org/BCAF.

Heart & Hands Thrift Shop, a nonprofit organization, at 8 Maple St., Meredith, is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. All proceeds from Thrift Shop sales go directly to various local charities. Gently used furniture, household goods, books and clothing is accepted.
