NASHUA, NH – “This is something to be thankful for. It makes me all warm inside,” said one of nearly 300 guests Tuesday at Harbor Care’s annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner.
“Servers” at the buffet, generously provided by The Common Man Family, included Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan; U.S. Representatives Annie Kuster and Chris Pappas; Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess; HUD Regional Administrator Juana Matias; and many state and city legislators.
