Community Involvement
Here at Fenton Family Dealerships we
pride ourselves on giving back to our community. Community Giving
is a fundamental part of
our society today and is becoming increasingly more important every day. Each year our dealerships support over 75 local charities
through gift giving and sponsorships.
The Core groups we sponsor are the Monadnock United way, The Keene
Community Kitchen, and The Keene Family YMCA.

What is the Monadnock United Way?
Founded in 1952, the Monadnock United Way is an autonomous and independent organization governed
by a Board of community members. Our accountability is to our local volunteers and donors. Decisions on
which programs to fund and all other operating and policy decisions are made here in the Monadnock
Region. Although the Monadnock United Way is best known for conducting an annual campaign which
provides funding for needed services to people in the region, community building represents an equally
major effort. Monadnock United Way collaborates with a variety of partners to help identify and address
emerging issues and specific human service needs. These partners include social service providers,
foundations, local government, education and the medical community.

COMMUNITY KITCHEN DONATION FOR 2009: $36,000!!!
The Community Kitchen has long been a charity
choice for the Fenton Family. We have sponsored a
Charity Golf Tournament each summer for the past 18 years bringing in $25-$30,000 each year for the
kitchen. Providing healthy meals to individuals and families is such a fundamental need to those
who can't provide for themselves.

WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY KITCHEN?
It started out as a soup kitchen in 1983 with a couple dozen volunteers and support from local churches and friends. They
served soup to 25 people in a church basement and as time passed and more people came,it was quickly discovered that
the soup kitchen's offering was the only daily meal for some of its guests.Today, 26 years later, The Community Kitchen
has become a helpful hand to more than 12,000 hungry people in the Monadnock Region. Of the 952,700 meals provided
last year, over 60% went to children under the age of 19. They anticipate serving 1.2 million meals this year. The families
seeking food assistance are not just the homeless. Most are the working poor desperately trying to feed their children and
many upper middle class parents who have recently suffered family upset through divorce, health issues or job loss.
"The children affected is our main concern. They are helpless to provide for themselves; yet these same children are
our country's future. They need good nutrition and adequate food choices to properly grow and develop into healthy
productive adults. These children need everyone's help."
