Members of Beacon Church and the Londonderry Women’s Club were at Matthew Thornton Elementary School to pass out donations they had gathered as a welcoming event for teachers of the three elementary schools. Teachers were invited to stop in on Wednesday, Aug. 23, for coffee, snacks, and school supplies. They were also able to enter a raffle for a number of prizes. Donations came from a number of sources. Troy’s Kitchen; Janie’s Cafe; Macks Apples; Bliss Beauty; Collective Studios; Shaw’s; Hannaford; Londonderry Women’s Club; Londonderry Times; Pillsbury Designs; Judy Leshinski Jewelry; Ronda’s Crafting Creations; Paper & Twine; Dunkin Donuts; Stonyfield Yogurt; and Card My Yard. Beacon Church is a non-denominational church that provides love to the community. They meet at the YMCA in Londonderry every Sunday at 9:00 and 10:30 a.m.
