At Lovering Volvo Cars, Community Involvement is at the Core of Our Business
Over the past eighteen years, the Lovering Auto Group has had the
opportunity to get involved with many of the NH area agencies that
assist the needy and less fortunate in our communities. Many of the
organizations we work with are focused on issues involving the arts,
animal protection, education, health, and women's issues. The interest
and support of many of these causes has grown organically within our
organization, starting with our owners, Rich and Linda Lovering, and
also through our employees and loyal customers.
What's Going on at Lovering This Month?
The
Boys and Girls Club of Central New Hampshire is hosting the 12th Annual
Taste of New Hampshire event at the Grappone Conference Center in
Concord, NH. The event is being held on Thursday, October 19th from 5:30
- 8:30PM.
This year's event includes
35 restaurants and businesses, live music and live cooking demos,
raffles, a silent auction, and a Top Chef Competition! It is sure to be a
great evening with wonderful food and drinks enjoyed by all, while
giving to a great cause.
Coming
quickly in early November, the Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter is
hosting its 17th Annual Dinner Auction. The event is held on Saturday,
November 4th at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Nashua, NH. The event is such a
success that it yields enough proceeds for the Soup Kitchen to provide
1,800 meals per week to people in need in the community. It also enables
the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter to provide emergency housing at
their two shelters.
This
year, Lovering Auto Group is happy to sponsor the event with a $1,500
donation. We hope that it is another great year for the Nashua Soup
Kitchen. Thank you for all that you do for the community!
