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.

This month at Lovering we sponsored the Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter with the 27th annual Run/Walk for Food & Shelter. The event will be postponed to a later date this year so keep your eyes open for the new date and join us!

Community Organizations

Lovering has a history of serving the community in many different ways. Below are some of the groups that we have been proud to support over the years:

We sponsored the Powered By Women seminar in Manchester, New Hampshire. This second annual conference featured storytelling that showcased the drive, conviction and persistence of executives in the Granite State. Five successful women leaders from different career backgrounds and perspectives shared their stories on their personal and professional growth followed by a panel discussion.  Powered By Women serves to connect women leaders through these stories that will leave them feeling empowered and informed to succeed in their endeavors.

	The Boys and Girls Club provides a safe place for at-risk children to get together and reach their potentials as caring, productive, and responsible citizens. Lovering Volvo began supporting the organization in 1998 and since then has given donated to help with a variety of programs, including Partners 4 Kids (Lovering Volvo is a Premier Sponsor year-round), the Youth Dinner, the Spring Fling, the Bids for Kids Auction (Premier Sponsor), the Annual Golf Tournament, and the Nashua Soup Kitchen Run for Food Race. This Spring, Rich and Linda Lovering are looking forward to the Annual Youth of the Year Dinner & Hall of Fame Celebration.
	Lakes Region General Healthcare - A non-profit charitable healthcare trust that represents a range of medical providers in the area. The Lovering Auto Group is proud to have donated for the past several years to the foundation's annual heart disease awareness fundraiser, the Red Dress Gala. This year the theme was "Gatsby Goes Red" and it looked like a scene from the 1920s!
	CASA NH (Court Appointed Special Advocates of New Hampshire) is a non-profit, private organization staffed by volunteers advocating in the best interests of neglected and abused children. Rich and Linda donate to the annual CASA Cares Evening of Giving for New Hampshire's Children. Mark your calendars for April 13th in 2018!
	Home Health and Hospice Care - Offering trusted patient-centered services made to enhance independence and quality of life, Home Health and Hospice Care has roots going all the way back to 1883. Lovering has aided with both the Home Health and Hospice Gala Wine Dinner and Annual Golf Tournament fundraising events. This year's golf tournament will be held April 8th, and there will be a piano artist from The Front Porch Wine Bar in Ogunquit!
	Lovering Auto Group is proud to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central New Hampshire, in addition to the Lakes Region and Greater Nashua Clubs. We love this organization for all that it does to help the youth in our community from snacks and hot meals to inspiring them in programs and activities. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central New Hampshire provide kids up to 18 years old with a safe place to be when they are not in school.
	In addition to their support of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Nashua & Central New Hampshire, Lovering is proud to lend their support to the Lakes Region chapter as well.
	Linda Lovering is a proud sponsor of the New Hampshire Women's Foundation. The New Hampshire Women's Foundation's mission is to, "…Promote opportunity and equality for women & girls in New Hampshire through research, education, philanthropy and advocacy." Lovering Volvo served the foundation with a sponsorship to the Changing Workplaces meeting in regards to why family-friendly policies matter in 2015.
	Committed to the protection of abandoned, neglected, abused, and unwanted animals, the Humane Society of Greater Nashua is a non-profit organization supported wholly by donations, ensuring that their temporary pets are treated with love. In addition to lending support for the Walktoberfest fundraiser in 2011 which featured a morning dog walk, pet-friendly vendors, an obstacle course, and a raffle with over 100 prizes, Rich Lovering also served on their board of directors for several years. Because they receive no aid from the government or organizations like the United Way, the Humane Society of Greater Nashua depends on support from companies like Lovering for their continued existence. In the summer of 2015, Lovering also hosted a puppy adoption day, where all of the furry guests found their new fur-ever homes!
	Providers of quality entertainment for all ages, the Interlakes Summer Theatre pairs children and teens with theatre pros to create productions of popular stage shows. They are dependent on the generosity of organizations like Lovering for equipment upgrades and general funding. This year, Linda Lovering sponsored the theater with an ad in the theater's playbill. Here's to a fun season!
	NH's only statewide locally owned and operated TV network who works to engage minds, connect communities, and celebrate NH with entertaining programs that also educate us. Their services are commercial-free locally focused and PBS TV programs; educational resources, and a high-tech public safety communications infrastructure. Spring of 2016 Lovering sponsored their TV auction with a Platinum Reconditioning package.
	A non-profit theatre aims to provide a challenging and fun theatrical environment for both visitors and Lakes Region residents alike. Founded in 2004, this cultural gem owes much to the generosity of donors such as Lovering. This year, Rich and Linda have donated another generous sponsorship to the group!

From 1999 - 2009, Lovering supplied new Volvo vehicles to the driver education programs at Nashua High School and Hollis High School.
