Community Involvement and Charities | Lovering Volvo of Meredith

At Lovering Volvo, Community Involvement is at the Core of Our Business

Over the past eighteen years, the Lovering Auto Group has had the opportunity to get involved with many of the NH area agencies that assist the needy and less fortunate in our communities. Many of the organizations we work with are focused on issues involving the arts, animal protection, education, health, and women's issues. The interest and support of many of these causes has grown organically within our organization, starting with our owners, Rich and Linda Lovering, and also through our employees and loyal customers.

What's Going on at Lovering This Month?

	We're so excited to sponsor the Powered By Women Event hosted by NH Business Review! This event showcases the drive, conviction, and persistence of executives in the Granite State. Attendees will hear from successful women leaders from different career backgrounds and perspectives who will talk about their personal and professional growth.
	This year, Lovering Auto Group is also supporting The Women Building Community Luncheon in Manchester! This year, attendees will get to hear from special guest, Tiffany Dufu, CEO and Founder of The CRU, Author of Drop the Ball, and catalyst-at-large in the world of women's leadership.
	Thursday, October 18th will be the 13th Annual Taste of New Hampshire event a the Grappone Conference Center in Concord, NH. Lovering Auto Group is proud to be a room sponsor again this year! This event features over 35 independent restaurants and businesses sampling their specialty dishes paired with beers from NH Distributors and wines from Southern Wine & Spirits, Biagio Cru & Estate Wines, and M.S. Walker. All proceeds of the event go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central NH!

Community Organizations

Lovering has a history of serving the community in many different ways. Below are some of the groups that we have been proud to support over the years:

	The Boys and Girls Club provides a safe place for at-risk children to get together and reach their potentials as caring, productive, and responsible citizens. Lovering Volvo began supporting the organization in 1998 and since then has given $175,910 to help with a variety of programs, including Partners 4 Kids (Lovering Volvo is a Premier Sponsor year-round), the Youth Dinner, the Spring Fling, the Bids for Kids Auction (Premier Sponsor), the Annual Golf Tournament, and the Nashua Soup Kitchen Run for Food Race. This Spring, Rich and Linda Lovering are looking forward to the Annual Youth of the Year Dinner & Hall of Fame Celebration.
	Linda Lovering is a sponsor of the New Hampshire Women's Foundation. The Foundation's mission is to promote opportunity and equality for women & girls in the state through research, education, philanthropy and a dvocacy. Lovering Volvo served the foundation with a sponsorship to the Changing Workplaces luncheon which discussed family-friendly work policies.
	Committed to the protection of abandoned, neglected, abused, and unwanted animals, the Humane Society of Greater Nashua is a non-profit organization supported wholly by donations, ensuring that their temporary pets are treated with love. In addition to lending support for the group, Rich Lovering also served on their board of directors for several years. Because they receive no aid from the government or organizations like the United Way, the Humane Society of Greater Nashua depends on support from companies like Lovering for their continued existence. In the summer of 2015, Lovering also hosted a puppy adoption day, where all of the furry guests found their new fur-ever homes!
	Providers of quality entertainment for all ages, the Interlakes Summer Theatre pairs children and teens with theatre pros to create productions of popular stage shows. They are dependent on the generosity of organizations like Lovering for equipment upgrades and general funding. This year, Linda Lovering sponsored the theater with an ad in the theater's playbill. Here's to a fun season!
	NH's only statewide locally owned and operated TV network who works to engage minds, connect communities, and celebrate NH with entertaining programs that also educate us. Their services are commercial-free locally focused and PBS TV programs; educational resources, and a high-tech public safety communications infrastructure. Spring of 2016 Lovering is sponsoring their TV auction with a Platinum Reconditioning package.
	A non-profit theatre aims to provide a challenging and fun theatrical environment for both visitors and Lakes Region residents alike. Founded in 2004, this cultural gem owes much to the generosity of donors such as Lovering. This year, Rich and Linda have donated another generous sponsorship to the group!
