"You are not in this alone."

As communities throughout New Hampshire prepare for the deployment of unprecedented numbers of servicemen and women, individuals in Goffstown, New Boston and Dunbarton have come together in support of the families and loved ones who will carry the weight of these deployments from the homefront. Formed in April of 2010, Goffstown Area Deployed Family Support is committed to providing support to area families who are engaged in the deployment cycle. In addition to monthly family suppers, the group has developed a call-list of "handy helpers" who are willing and able to help families with household tasks such as lawncare, air conditioner installation and de-installation, and others. The Goffstown Public Library is developing a collection of resources available to adults and children who are experiencing the deployment of a loved one. In addition, links to outside resources and support services are being compiled on a continuous basis. The group can be found on Facebook at Goffstown Area Deployed Family Support and more information is available at the Goffstown Public Library at 497-2102 or goflib@goffstown.lib.nh.us.
