The Family Table Project is committed to ensuring that no child in Southwestern New Hampshire faces hunger alone. Through Caring Closets in schools and clinics, along with rotating Specialty Markets, families gain consistent access to fresh foods, school supplies, and daily essentials. These practical supports ease immediate burdens and bring stability to households under strain.
Beyond food, the Family Table Project connects families with nutrition education, benefit navigation, and community resources that foster long-term resilience. By partnering with faith communities, businesses, and civic groups, we multiply impact and build a collaborative network of care. Together, we are setting the table for healthier, stronger, and more connected communities.
The Caritas Center for Care exists to extend compassion and presence where it is needed most. Through telecare and chaplaincy services, we provide support for individuals and families navigating illness, crisis, or isolation—reminding each person that they are seen, heard, and not alone. Our work also includes advocacy on behalf of the most vulnerable, ensuring that voices often overlooked are brought to the center of community concern.
In addition, the Caritas Center equips others for this vital work by offering training in spiritual care, listening, and trauma-informed practices. By combining direct support with education and advocacy, we help cultivate a culture of care that strengthens both individuals and communities. Caritas is more than a program—it is a commitment to embodying compassion in practical, transformative ways.
This free six-week Spanish class is designed to do more than teach language—it’s about building bridges across cultures. As our region welcomes a growing Spanish-speaking population, Conexiones offers an opportunity for neighbors to come together, learn, and grow in empathy and understanding. With no cost for materials, the class is accessible to all and provides a welcoming space where hospitality, respect, and connection take root.
When crisis strikes or need arises, being ready matters. That’s why the Monadnock Center offers hands-on seminars and training designed to prepare volunteers and leaders for the real work of mission. From emergency response basics to specialized skills like chainsaw safety and debris clearing, these trainings ensure that when called upon, our teams can respond quickly, effectively, and safely.
But it’s not just about tools and tactics—it’s about building confidence and capacity for compassionate service. By blending practical instruction with a spirit of readiness, we aim to equip individuals and groups for rapid deployment, whether in local disasters or community service initiatives. Each training session strengthens our ability to show up well for our neighbors, turning preparation into an act of hope.
Faith in Pieces™ is an exciting, out of the box process that uses LEGO bricks to encourage: problem-solving, communication, team building, reflection, imagination, and creative thinking within the context of church and faith based organizations. Faith in Pieces™ is designed for guided workshops or worship settings with people of all ages, and ultimately, can change the way your organization approaches visioning, outreach, worship and evangelism.
Faith in Pieces™ has been used in Strategic planning, Worship, Connection with Communities, and so much more. Although relatively new to faith-based organizations, LEGO Church builds upon the proven methodology of LEGO Serious Play developed in 1996 by Two professors at the Institute for Management Development in Lausanne, Switzerland, alongside LEGO Group owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, and countless facilitators, consultants, teachers, and LEGO Fanatics

We are about Creating fresh expressions of Missional & Connectional Programming
The Monadnock Center is about building fresh networks of missions, ministries, and community partnerships anchored by the Monadnock Center and community partners.
Some of these efforts are programs we born directly through the Center – such as the Caritas Center for Spiritual Care & The Chainsaw Project. Others represent community partnerships—like the Family Table Project, Conexiones language classes, and Caring Closets in schools—that emerge through deep collaboration with neighbors, faith communities, nonprofits, and civic groups.
It is the work of the center identify and then bring diverse initiatives under one banner, which we believe reflects our the commitment that hope is strongest when shared, and that no single organization can carry the work of renewal alone. Through economies of scale – the work can be spread across organizations allowing the impact to magnify.
Just a few of these Current Programs (2025/2026) Include:
