When I was young, I briefly ventured into the world of entrepreneurship.I saw an opportunity one summer after stumbling upon a little shop that sold beads by the bagful. I bought as many beads as I could afford with the money in my pocket and could.

Jo-Ann Gustafson of Jaffrey knows there are people out there who need more help than her family does.
The last time Gustafson used a food pantry was before the COVID-19 pandemic began. But by mid-February, she found herself in a situation where she felt the need to ask for help.
Both Gustafson and her granddaughter, who she and her husband are raising, contracted COVID-19 and were forced to quarantine for two weeks.
“It’s been a rough road,” Gustafson said. So she connected with Mandy Carter, Community Resource Specialist/Kinship Navigator at The River Center. Carter began delivering food to the Gustafsons from the Community Meals To Go program on Tuesday and Thursday nights and as Gustafson put it, “it made a huge impact.”
