About This Cause
The Grapevine Family & Community Resource Center, located in Antrim, NH was founded in 1996. It was then that a small group of townspeople got together and helped to form a play-and-learn group for young children and their parents. Families And Communities Together, a small nonprofit organization based in Greenfield, assisted the group in its efforts and successfully applied for a grant from the Health Care Fund Community Grant program to open a family and community resource center. Since its beginning, the Grapevine has served thousands of families across the community. The Grapevine serves the people of Hillsborough County, with a specific focus on residents in the communities of Antrim, Bennington, Francestown, Hancock, Hillsborough and Deering. We are committed to serving all regardless of ability to pay. The Grapevine mission is to promote family and community health and well-being through support, education and the sharing of resources.
