THE BEARCAMP CENTER

FOR SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY

The Bearcamp Center for Sustainable Community is located in South Tamworth, New Hampshire. We are a small non-profit addressing, in the heart of Carroll County, some of the challenges that keep folks from thriving.  We understand that everyone is working hard to get by in this life and sometimes a little breathing room is needed, provided in a way that supports dignity.  This might come in the form of a take-out meal or multi-course sit-down dinner, offered by donation, or affordable, creative, and engaging childcare during school vacations.  At The Bearcamp Center, those who can afford to pay nothing or very little pay nothing or very little.  Those who can afford more contribute more, and are glad to pay it forward.

According to the Institute for Sustainable Communities, “(a) sustainable community takes into account, and addresses, multiple human needs, not just one at the exclusion of all others. It is a place where people of diverse backgrounds and perspectives feel welcome and safe, where every group has a seat at the…table, and where prosperity is shared.”

Our Mission(s)

We nourish and nurture citizens of all ages in central Carroll County by providing nutritious and delicious meals; affordable child care during school vacations; and out of school education programming for resiliency and socialization, all on a sliding scale or by-donation basis, allowing each participant to maximize personal potential with dignity.

Our Core Values

  • Act responsibly with all people and places
  • Honor the individual
  • Face challenges with courage
  • Boldly address inequity

What We Do

We fill the gaps in services designed to support people working to make ends meet. To thrive, people must be nurtured and nourished, treated with dignity, and joyfully supported. By feeding the body and the spirit, we enhance an individual’s strength and will to move productively in the world, maximizing personal potential and community engagement.

Food is Health and Vitality.
