Bellwether Community Credit Union recently donated free take-home dinners to local hospitals in the Manchester, Bedford and Nashua area to thank those on the front line for their work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The credit union had more than 100 meals delivered to Catholic Medical Center, Elliot Hospital, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Southern New Hampshire Hospital.

The ready-to-eat meals allowed hospital staff to have dinner prepared for their family when they get home letting them spend more time with their loved ones. Meals were prepared and delivered by Tidewater Catering of Manchester, which donated dinner rolls and water bottles included with the mealst.

“It was just something we could do to say thank you. We are so grateful for the hospital workers and medical staff who are putting others before themselves during this critical time,” Bellwether President/CEO Nathan Saller said in a statement. “In the midst of this crisis, we support hospitals in the communities we serve by delivering these take-home dinners.”

“We wanted to ensure the hospital employees have one less thing to worry about and give them more precious time with their families when they are at home,” he added.
