Bottomline Technologies Donates Washing Machine to New Generation Shelter

Tuesday, May 23, 2006 (Greenland, NH)— All New Generation shelter residents cook meals for one another and keep on track with a schedule of daily chores, including laundry.  Recently, the shelter clothes washer stopped working, and an immediate replacement was needed. Bottomline Technologies of Portsmouth contributed $500 towards a new Kenmore high-efficiency washing machine while Sears at the Fox Run Mall picked up the balance of equipment and delivery costs.

     “We are grateful for the new washing machine from Bottomline and Sears. Their cooperation helped our eight current residents stay on track. Corporate investments which help us fulfill our mission are always welcome, especially when unexpected expenses occur,” said Toni Trotzer, Executive Director.

New Generation is a not-for-profit shelter for homeless pregnant women and mothers with young children. Founded in 1987, the shelter houses up to seven women and their children at a time, while giving support in a loving environment, teaching parenting education, self-sufficiency, and life skills.
