First Congregational Church & South Congregational Church
During the 2010 Heroes Breakfast, the American Red Cross-Granite Chapter honored outstanding people or groups who gave selflessly to their communities. One group were two churches in Concord NH who together have rallied over 200 volunteers each year to manage the Cold Weather Shelter program for the homeless community in the Concord area.
