Merrimack Valley Hope Mission, a humanitarian project, is partnering with two local nonprofit organizations to again provide fishing trips for homeless and transitional veterans.
The Fourth Annual Veterans’ Fishing Trip is being planned by the coalition, which now includes support from Common Ground Ministries, headed by Ron Mills, and 411 Cares, founded by Dee Jacobs O’Neil. They are notifying veterans of the upcoming opportunity and also seeking community donations to help the endeavor, according to Joseph D’Amore, Merrimack Valley Hope Mission founder.

Haverhill’s 411 Cares achieved an important milestone this week distributing 13,000 meals to needy residents and veterans.
The nonprofit organization that formed last year to address shortages stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic delivers fully prepared meals daily to 120 veterans, elderly and low- and moderate-income residents. These include YMCA residents and veterans at Veterans Northeast Outreach Center homes on Cedar and Temple Streets.
