Visiting Nurse and Hospice for VT and NH celebrates selection as a Shaw’s GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag Program Beneficiary

News release

Visiting Nurse and Hospice for Vermont and New Hampshire (VNH) has been selected as a beneficiary of the Shaw’s GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag Program for the month of September.

The Shaw’s GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag Program, which launched in March 2019, is a reusable bag program that facilitates community support with the goal to make a difference in the communities where shoppers live and work.

Visiting Nurse and Hospice for Vermont and New Hampshire, a member of Dartmouth Health, was selected as the September beneficiary of the program by store leadership at the Shaw’s located at 10 Benning Drive, West Lebanon, New Hampshire. VNH will receive a $1 donation every time the $3.00 GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag is purchased at this location during September, unless otherwise directed by the customer through the Giving Tag attached to the bag.

“We are honored to be chosen to receive this support and are grateful to Shaw’s commitment to community organizations,” said Johanna Beliveau, President and CEO of VNH. “No one wants to go to the emergency room, be admitted to the hospital or a skilled nursing facility, and these dollars allow VNH to bring much needed healthcare services to people at home, which is where they want to be.”

Visiting Nurse and Hospice for Vermont and New Hampshire is a nonprofit based in White River Junction, Vermont. Founded in 1907, VNH serves more than 100 Vermont and New Hampshire communities. People depend on VNH to provide the home-based care that supports them in successfully recovering from hospitalization, living with dignity and independence in the face of disability or chronic illness, navigating the challenges that come with the gift of new life and negotiating difficult life passages.
