Giving Back Is Part- of Who We Are

Whether we’re baking holiday treats, hosting fundraisers, or cheering at local events, we love being part of the Upper Valley community.

A Night of- Giving Back!

Each year, we’re proud to host a Silent Auction Fundraiser in support of a local charity that’s making a real difference right here in the Upper Valley. Held at a beloved local business, this event brings together community spirit, generosity, and fun. All for a great cause!
Every auction item is generously donated by Upper Valley businesses and professionals, showcasing the heart and talent of our amazing region. From unique experiences to handcrafted goods, there’s always something special to bid on.
Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we raised over $7,000 last year, and we’re hoping to make an even bigger impact this time around.

Fall Fun for the Whole Family

This festive event is all about celebrating the season with the youngest members of our Community, though we won’t blame you if you’re just here for the spooky snacks and cider!

We’ll have a whole lineup of kid-friendly fun, including:

The treats? Think Halloween-themed goodies that are as fun to look at as they are to eat. Plus plenty of locally-made cider to keep you cozy.

And don’t miss our favorite tradition: the Pumpkin Decorating Contest! Each of our team members gets creative with their own pumpkin masterpiece, but it’s YOU, our community, who gets to vote and crown the winner. Come for the pumpkins, stay for the fun!

Helping Our Neighbors,One Donation at a Time!

Every summer, we team up with a local grocery store in the Upper Valley to host a community food drive in support of our local food pantries.

We focus on collecting the most-needed items, ensuring that shelves stay stocked and families in our area have access to the essentials all season long. It’s always inspiring to see the incredible generosity of the Upper Valley community in action.


Whether it’s a single can or a whole cart of donations, every bit makes a real difference.

The Prouty: Moving Together to Fight Cancer

The Prouty is Northern New England’s largest family-friendly fundraising event, bringing together thousands of participants each year for a powerful cause. 

Whether you’re cycling, walking, rowing, golfing, or cheering from the sidelines, every step, stroke, and swing helps raise crucial funds for life-saving research and essential patient and family support services at Dartmouth Cancer Center.

It’s more than just an event: it’s a movement of hope, strength, and community.

LebFest: A Celebration of Community, Family, and Fun!

We are new to this (having just started this year!), but we have quickly fallen in love with this event! LebFest is a family-friendly event that brings the entire Upper Valley together for a day packed with fun for all ages! With over 90 booths offering hands-on activities, games, crafts, raffles, local vendors, and more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

And don’t miss the fan-favorite Mac & Cheese Competition, featuring mouthwatering creations from local restaurants! LebFest is all about celebrating what makes the Upper Valley a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family.

Holiday Joy at Kate & Co.!

We absolutely LOVE the holidays; it’s the perfect season to come together and celebrate community spirit. Every year, we bake fresh holiday breads and deliver them to senior communities across the Upper Valley, spreading warmth and cheer where it’s needed most.

We also whip up an assortment of delicious cookies for our hardworking town offices and staff, who play such a vital role in keeping our communities running smoothly.

But that’s not all! We also make goodies for our local lenders as a token of appreciation for all the work they do for us and for you. It’s our little way of saying thank you and sharing the joy of the season with those around us!

Jogging with Furry Friends

We support and sponsor the Lucy Mac 5K9 every year! 
The Lucy Mac 5K9 is an exciting and one of the biggest fundraising events of the year, hosted by the Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society.

This year’s race was extra special as Lucy Mackenzie celebrated an incredible 110 years of caring for animals in the community!

Both speedy runners and casual walkers enjoy hitting the beautiful trails of Ascutney Mountain. All while supporting the amazing animals at Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society.
It is a fantastic day of fun, fitness, and making a difference!

Cooking It Up At David’s House

Since opening its doors on January 20th, 1986, David’s House has been a beacon of hope and comfort in our community. 


Over 16,000 families have found a home away from home here while supporting their loved ones through treatment. And beyond overnight stays, countless others have found a moment of relief: a warm shower, a restful nap, a nourishing meal, or simply a friendly smile.


Recently, we had the joy of volunteering to make breakfast for these incredible families, and it was an experience that truly touched our hearts. Now, we invite you to join us in giving back to this extraordinary place.

Goodies For Our Schools

Every month, we brighten the day of our incredible Upper Valley schools with special goodie baskets filled with thoughtful surprises. From homemade baked treats to essential school supplies, each month brings something new and exciting. A small way to express our gratitude for the hard work and dedication that these educators and staff members pour into our community.


We see the passion they bring every single day, and this is our way of giving back to the heroes shaping the future right here at home. Because when our schools thrive, we all thrive!
