The Granite State is filled with do-gooders and one of our favorite unsung heroes is Dan Lagueux and his team from New England's Tap House Grille. They give back so much to the community and we are grateful for their partnership in our semi-annual Meals of Thanks program.

Twice a year, the Tap House team, along with the exceptional support of our sponsors, make it possible for thousands of meals to be distributed across the state. In May, we fuel the Granite State's hard-working nurses and in December we help feed families across the state.

Yesterday, the New England's Tap House Grille team prepared more than 1,000 meals that were then donated to the New Hampshire Food Bank and Manchester Police Athletic League - MPAL to be distributed to residents across the state during the holiday season.

Meals of Thanks is made possible by the generous support of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, CGI Business Solutions, Northeast Delta Dental, Pickity Place, Sheehan Phinney, Bedford Village Inn and Cicely Beston Interior Designs, LLC.
