ROCHESTER - Rochester Elks Lodge #1393 recently donated several dozen Bombas socks to Infinity Peer Support.
The donation was made possible by Copper Cannon Camp, which is the New Hampshire State Elks Association's state project.
Located in Bethlehem, NH, Copper Cannon offers tuition-free camping experiences to children who qualify for the free/reduced meal plan due to the family's income. Copper Cannon is also a repository for Bombas socks and shares these socks with Elks Lodges across the state to, in turn, share with their local communities.
Accepting the donation was Carol Otash Director of Operations of Infinity Peer Support and Trisha Valencia, Board Member of Infinity Peer Support.
Infinity Peer Support Cooperative is a non-profit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation managed by peers for folks over the age of 18 who reside in Strafford County. Their members are dedicated to building a community with an alternative, peer-oriented approach to mental health wellness and recovery.
Rochester Elks Lodge #1393 contributes to the community through various programs, including Student Scholarships, Americanism, Veterans Activities, Youth Activities, a Drug Awareness Program, and Community Service.
