Goffstown Hockey Volunteers ’20

Every year, the Goffstown Hockey team selects a charity of choice and this year they raised money for the ALS Association of Northern New England. In addition to that, over the last three seasons, they have decided to be hands-on and not let the parents and board members run a charity night that they are disconnected from. They wanted to get their hands dirty and do the work themselves. Personally, I love it. These players are all in, hands-on, and doing the work themselves.

The hockey team went to volunteer at the New Hampshire Food Bank after their early morning practice on Tuesday morning beginning at 9:00 am until 3:00 pm. The team went over in two different groups to tackle various tasks.

The folks at the food bank were thankful for the overall effort, teamwork, and behavior of the hockey players.

Over the course of the day, the groups combined to get several things done:

• cut pork & veggies
• packaged cooked chili
• prepped pork and veggies for 600 people
• prepped chicken for 500 people
• stored food to coolers/fridge
• washed dishes
• cleaned workstations
• swept & washed the floor

Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who pitched in with the players.
