The Newfound Area Char- itable Fund, a 501-(c)3 organi- zation, which holds the annual Labor Day weekend Run Your Buns Off race, is pleased to an- nounce that through money raised in their 2022 run/walk event, they will once again be bringing the N.H. Food Bank’s Mobile Food Pantry to the New- found Region this month.
Since 2010 walkers and run- ners from all over have gathered at Basic Ingredients, a bakery and gift shop on the Bristol-Bridge- water town line, to participate in the event. Run Your Buns Off is a 4.2-mile trek through Bridgewa- ter, enabling participants to burn off enough calories so they can enjoy one of the famous sticky buns made by Garlyn Mangan-
Run Your Buns Off Will Bring Back the New Hampshire Food Bank’s Mobil Food Pantry
iello and her crew at Basic Ingre- dients when they cross the finish line.
Right from its start, dona- tions from the event prompted both Manganiello and event co-founder Audrey Goudie to create the Newfound Area Char- itable Fund. The nonprofit group then began supporting numerous other local nonprofits, area schol- arship funds, and school athletic teams with special goals they wished to meet. This past year’s race benefitted Little Antlers Learning Center in Plymouth with a $5,000 contribution for an outdoor play area, provided $1,000 toward the purchase of a sign for the new CADY (Com- munities for Alcohol- and Drug- Free Youth) location in Bristol and, for the third year in a row,
Last year members of the Newfound Area Charitable Fund helped out with the N.H. Food Bank’s Mobile Food Pantry distribution program, sponsored through donations from their annual Run Your Buns Off run/ walk event, and they look forward to providing more food to the community again this month in downtown Bristol.

they are sponsoring the Mobile Food Pantry for another trip to the Newfound area.
“We just love that organiza- tion. They’re wonderful to work with,” said Manganiello.
She told the directors of NACF to realize there is a real need to assist families and seniors of the area in meeting their nu- tritional needs, so sponsoring the Mobile Food Pantry has become an important part of their fund- raising efforts over the past few years, a tradition they hope to continue.
“It really is one of the reasons
we hold the race. Each year we plan it, we hold it, and we present checks to organizations we iden- tify each year, which is fantastic, but with the food pantry, we also get actually to participate as vol- unteers when they come here,” said Manganiello. “It’s an extra level of being able to see what happens with the money we raise, and we love that!”
Sponsorship of the food truck will mean that the 2022 race will have brought as much as $15,000 (if not more, she said) back into the area to benefit local residents.
NACF is pleased to announce
that the mobile food pantry will be at Newfound Memorial Mid- dle School on Sat., Feb. 11, from noon until 2 p.m., or as long as supplies last. The distributions will take place in a drive-thru format with people remaining in their vehicles as volunteers bring the food to them. No proof of residency is necessary as it will be open to anyone who could use some food for their own home pantry this winter, but those in need of the extra assistance are advised to arrive early.
You´re in luck!
