The local food pantry (Alton), hospice (Wolfeboro), and a church (Laconia).

I second Broadhopper's comments. Each year we have a shopping list of non-profits that solicit our town for money. Their requests are placed on the warrant article for voters to approve or reject (Alton is SB-2). Our Budget Committee always asks what the administrative costs run and discuss the overhead vs. the value of service. Some of the costs are amazingly high, while others are low (or none!).
