Helping military members and their families is the object of a new endowment that is being helped by a sizable donation from a Portsmouth couple. The Dan and Renee Plummer Endowment Fund will provide support for New Hampshire service members who are battling addiction.

Easter Seals of New Hampshire will be providing services for those battling substance abuse at the Farnum Center in Manchester and Franklin. Renee Plummer, marketing manager for Two International Drive Group at Pease International Tradeport, spoke to Roger Wood InDepth about the program and the couple’s commitment to it. Renee said it all began with an introduction to Veterans Count.

Fundraising for the Endowment began in October 2015 and $260,000 has been raised toward the $500,000 goal. The campaign will conclude in September 2016.
