Project Elf
Spreading Holiday Cheer While Supporting Local Businesses!Project Elf is Back!
Service CU is once again purchasing toys from independently owned toy stores throughout New Hampshire and donating them to the NH State Police’s Toys for Tots effort, which brings toys to children in need throughout our communities.
Starting this November, Service CU elves will be visiting toy stores in different NH towns, spreading holiday cheer and helping our beloved local businesses. Then on December 6, we’ll be delivering all the toys purchased to the NH State Police, just in time for the holidays!
Check back to this page this holiday season for updates on which stores we’ve visited. See the first two videos in our series highlighting our visit to Little Village Toy & Book Shop and the Noggin Factory Toy Store below.
