Our mission is to provide a network of comprehensive Primary Health Care and Support Services to individuals and families throughout the communities we serve. In support of this mission, we provide evidence-based, outcome-specific, systematic care that is: patient-centered, prevention-focused, accessible and affordable to all.

What does that mean? It means we are committed to providing the best in quality medical, dental, and behavioral health care for area residents regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.

ACHS turns no one away and treats all patients with respect.

As the area’s only non-profit COMMUNITY health center we serve 11,000 patients – roughly 1/3 of the population. With six care delivery sites in the region, we cover 26 north country towns. At these locations, we provide integrated medical, dental, and behavioral health care to patients regardless of socioeconomic status.

We make it so anyone can access the quality health care they deserve – no matter what is in their bank account or wallet.

ACHS serves all facets of the population offering care to men, women, and children as well as dental, behavioral health, and support services. We also deliver behavioral health services in area schools. In 2019, we had over 33,000 patient visits.That kind of support has a positive impact on our rural, north country communities. Financial support to ACHS helps to maintain our sliding-fee discount program, which enables us to offer patients the health care services they need regardless of their insurance status or coverage. With help from the communities we serve and state and federal funding last year we were able to provide over $1M in sliding fee discounts.

Our mission is to provide a Fun, Safe, Positive place for all children of the North Country, under the guidance of caring adults. The Boys & Girls Club of the North Country (BGCNC) was founded in 2005 in response to the pressing need for affordable, high-quality, after school programming in the North Country. Because it is our policy to remain affordable, BGCNC is one of the only afterschool options for most low-income families in our community. Through the BGCNC, we have been able to enrich the lives of youth who often fall between the cracks of other agencies.

Working families in our area rely on the Club for quality afterschool care for their children. Of the children we serve, 42% live in households below the National poverty level and 53% receive free or reduced lunch through school programs. Thirty percent live in single-parent households and 10% are in foster care or guardianship arrangements. Our members represent diverse backgrounds, socio-economic levels and family types, each facing a plethora of challenges in their homes and neighborhoods. Over the past four years, we have provided financial aid to 40%-50% of our Club members, annually. In the past year, this translated to $12,655 in financial aid and scholarships to ensure that no child is turned away, regardless of ability to pay. By ensuring affordable access, the Club provides a critical support system and safety net for low-income families.

BGCNC is more than just a safe place to go after school. We focus on developing the life-long skills needed to prepare children for futures as productive adults. When asked about their experience at BGCNC, members speak about teamwork, respect and responsibility. We offer creative opportunities and encourage a variety of physical activities that serve as a positive outlet where children can safely let off steam after school. BGCNC is a place where children enjoy active participation.

The BGCNC regularly collaborates with community partners on programs and activities. Some of our partnerships are with: Littleton Studio School, North Country Climbing Center, White Mountain School, Appalachian Mountain Club, Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust, White Mountain Science Institute, the Lisbon Police and Fire Departments, NH Fish & Game, Adaptive Sports Partners of the North Country, North Country Community Radio, Root to Rise and many more. These partnerships allow our members to explore their community and nature, learn new skills all while having fun and building self confidence.

Our children are the next generations of this country. Being chosen as Partner of the Month and receiving Partner Funds will significantly help us sustain our mission of providing at-risk children a mentoring program that will instill values to assist in their adult lives. Properly arming youth with resiliency and life skills, and helping youth to fully understand right from wrong, will allow our BGCNC kids to become promising members of society. Partner funds will be used to support the BGCNC financial aid fund for our Afterschool and Vacation Camp Programs. Our programs serve over 150 children between the ages of 5 and 15 from 17 surrounding North Country towns. The Club’s goal is to ensure that area children and teens have a reliable place to go after school and during school vacations, as well as access to high-quality, evidence-based programs and services that will enhance their lives and shape their futures as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. At BGCNC, no child is turned away, regardless of ability to pay.

MISSION STATEMENT: The Bancroft House provides a secure, temporary home for women, children, and families in need with compassion and respect for those we serve.
VISION STATEMENT: To sustain and enhance the provision of shelter for the homeless with emphasis on the financial stability and the organizational growth of the Bancroft House.

The Bancroft House provides shelter to homeless women, children, and families; providing a safe secure family-oriented living environment when people are at their most vulnerable moments of their lives. The shelter supports residents for up 90 days as they move towards securing the support, funds, and essentials in making a successful transition from living in a car, sleeping in a tent, or sofa-surfing with friends to a permanent place to call home.

Littleton Co-Op Partnership funds will be used to support the operations of our shelter, providing food, kitchen & laundry facilities, and internet access to residents working towards finding employment, access to supportive services, and securing permanent housing.

OAKS IS A CARING COMMUNITY OF VOLUNTEERS RECRUITED TO HELP SENIORS LIVE INDEPENDENTLY IN HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND SAFE ENVIRONMENTS.

Out volunteers have stayed steadfast in aiding our members. Oaks has 25 active members and at this time 15 are being serviced in grocery shopping, food bank delivering, financial help in filing and guiding bill paying, personal shopping, paying for cleaning service(we not able to go into the homes due to pandemic), and doing everything we can to create socialization and comfort.

Oaks wants to sustain and continue the scholarship program to help those who would otherwise not be able to continue services or to join.

The Partner funds would enable increased services to our members as to paid cleaning services, creating fun socialization as to tea parties including gift bags delivered before and then the actual party on Zoom. Photos of people wearing different hats or outfits and spread fun expression through emails and mail. Mailings to our members are very important since many do not have computers, and creating positive happy sayings for the days of the month is another to stay in touch.

Reimbursement of mileage to our volunteers is a way of thanks to the core of OAKS. and would be possible. Our organization is 501(c)(3) certified.

Our creativity is kicking into gear and the partnership would fund the FUN, and SOCIALIZATION.

Thank You COOP for all you do for our communities and it is a JOY to see your interaction with so many worthy services.
