Our Mission
The Grapevine mission is to promote family and community health and well-being through support, education and the sharing of resources. We serve Antrim, Francestown, Hancock, Bennington, Hillsborough, and Deering, NH. Grapevine programs and services support:
- Parents and Family Members as the best teachers of their children;
- Children, so they will be healthy and ready to learn, and
- Our Community, as a healthy and supportive environment for all.
Our History
“The Grapevine is so much more than just a playgroup. The people who work there don’t just stop when the doors close. They all care so much for the kids AND parents who go there. I am beyond grateful for each and every person involved in this wonderful group.”
“The Grapevine has become a second family for us. They have been there for some pretty big moments in our lives and helped us in numerous ways!”
