WHERE: Hobbs House 200 High Street, Hampton, NH 03842 (http://www.hamptoncommunitycoalition.org/)
WHY: This is a monthly offering (third Wednesday of the month) to honor our Veterans.
This is one simple and easy way to meet and greet some new and old Brothers and Sisters. I know that I’ll be there; come on down and say hello.
-Rich P., Corporal
United States Marine Corps
And damned proud of it.”
The above announcement is provided by Marine Rich Pettengill and it is a good example of what our area provides to Veterans. For a further explanation of what this luncheon entails, please see below:
“Outreach beyond our walls
Building Bridges Veterans Initiative
As part of the Building Bridges Veterans initiative (https://buildingbridgesveterans.org/), we provide a comfortable, respectful, and non-judgmental space for veterans to gather for lunch, conversation, support and friendship.
American veterans are a critically under-served and tragically marginalized population that we, at Trinity (https://trinityhampton.org/ministries/), feel called to embrace. The high rate of suicide, the rampant problem of veteran homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, and the epidemic isolation that veterans face are all areas that we need to address within our community and across the country!
We’ll begin with getting comfortable getting together on the third Wednesday of each month for Lunch at Hobbs House once a month. We’d like to hear what the needs of our hometown vets are and then begin to find ways to address them. If all they want is another place to socialize over lunch, that’s fine too. Let’s take this journey together!
This is a community project. If you would like to get involved, let us know by contacting us at trinity55ad@gmail.com or call us at 603-926-5688.”
The 20 Dec luncheon is the last one of the year at Hobbs House, but they will resume in the Spring. Follow the Building Bridges Events Calendar to find out when the luncheons return to Hobbs House: https://buildingbridgesveterans.org/events/.
Enjoy this free offering and the opportunity to speak with fellow veterans. Also have a safe and enjoyable Holiday Season. See you next year!

Weekly Detachment Breakfast
2023-12-20 08:45 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Partridge House, 777 Lafayette Road, Hampton, NH, United States
Thanks to our JPC Bob Niver, we will move our breakfast location for one week, to be able to share breakfast with one of our longtime members and Wednesday breakfast regular, George McCreary. George is currently housed at Partridge House located at 777 Layfayette Road in Hampton, NH (https://www.partridgehousenh.com/). The staff will accommodate our presence with breakfast fare. Below are some of the details needed (provided by our JPC Bob Niver) if you want to attend:
“George’s facility is located at 777 Lafayette Road, Hampton. Please bring an unwrapped toy and be there around 8:45. I think we will eat in the regular dining room with a special menu. The toys will be taken to the Winnacunnet Fire Hall.Thanks for making this happen. George was excited when I talked to him today. Bob”
As we age and become less mobile, we need to remember our promise to take care of each other as fellow Marines. George has been active in the Detachment since 2014 and a Lifetime member since 2017. We owe George a debt of gratitude for his service and loyalty to the League/ Detachment and our presence will also help with local toy drives for Christmas 2023. We hope to see you there.
