Our 2026 goals include becoming an engaged community member as we open our newest home in Rochester, NH, and welcoming more women into our intensive 90-day and transitional living programs. To see that through, we are embarking on a renovation project to turn 6 Healthcare Drive into a comforting, safe and bright residential space for 20 women. We are eager to achieve our capital campaign goal of $2.5 million to see this project to completion, continuing to move our mission forward to have an impact in every county in New Hampshire.
We are partnering with New England Motorcycle Group for the second year to be the beneficiary of International Female Ride Day. This powerful and fun day (May 2, 2026) gathers hundreds of motorcyclists, families and friends for a scenic ride through Maine and NH in support of Dismas Home.
Our signature Denim and Diamonds Gala (October 2, 2026) at the Bedford Event Center brings individuals and organizations together to dine, bid, dance and celebrate the work of Dismas Home and the women who have transformed their lives through its programs. While some attendees have been impacted in one way or another by substance use, others are simply committed to helping even more women across New
Hampshire transform their lives.
There are various ways that businesses and individuals can support Dismas Home:
● New Hampshire Tax Credit opportunities to support our Courage to Change Capital Campaign.
● Connections to foundations for grant opportunities.
● Community year-round sponsorships.
● Gifts of stock and individual philanthropy
● Sponsorship of outings, meals, projects, etc.
● Provide basic supplies for new residents.
● Dental services are always needed for residents.
We welcome volunteers to engage in our programs in a variety of ways:
● Organize an outing for the residents.
● Have a company volunteer day at the Home to garden, do landscaping, complete a much-needed project, etc.
● Teach a skill, craft, or other class to the residents.
