GUEST DONATIONS PLUS COMMON MAN FAMILY MATCH RAISE MORE THAN $92,500 FOR HURRICANE RELIEF

World Central Kitchen and American Red Cross Receive Funds to Support Ongoing Recovery Efforts

ASHLAND, NH – Guests of The Common Man heeded the call when the New Hampshire hospitality family launched a fundraiser in early October to support the hurricane relief efforts of non-profit organizations World Central Kitchen and American Red Cross.

Initially intended to assist Hurricane Helene relief efforts after the storm struck Southeastern areas of the United States in late September, the fundraiser was quickly expanded to also dedicate assistance to Hurricane Milton relief, which brought devastation to some of the same areas less than two weeks later.

The Common Man family invited guests to donate in its restaurants, inns, and stores throughout New Hampshire, as well as online microsites, with a promise to match all donations up to $100,000 for the two organizations combined.

During the two-week fundraising challenge, donations from guests totaled more than $13,750 for World Central Kitchen, and more than $32,500 for American Red Cross. With matches from The Common Man family, the final total donated to World Central Kitchen was $27,514.14 and $65,074.16 to American Red Cross, for a grand total of $92,588.30 dedicated to hurricane relief for our neighbors to the South.

“The foundation of our business is to do good in our communities, and who better to partner with than the Red Cross and World Central Kitchen, who go out and help in disasters,” said Common Man CEO Vincent Vella. “Being able to get our guests involved, as well as doing the match the way we did, it was a great way for us to help out and do what we can.”

It has been nearly 10 weeks since Hurricanes Helene and Milton hit, and according to the American Red Cross, thousands across the Southeast U.S. are still living with inconceivable storm damage. American Red Cross responders are still there with storm victims to provide aid and a shoulder to lean on to ensure no one faces these disasters alone.

"After disasters, the American Red Cross helps meet the urgent humanitarian needs of those affected,” said Stephanie Couturier, Red Cross regional executive. “We focus on providing safe shelter, food, emotional support, relief supplies, financial assistance, and other aid. Our mission is only possible thanks to generous donors like The Common Man Family and their customers. We are so grateful for their support. This gift will allow the Red Cross to continue to deliver critical care and comfort for months to come." 

World Central Kitchen teams have been in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina since the end of September, when Hurricane Helene struck first, and Hurricane Milton quickly followed. According to its website, multiple World Central Kitchen food truck partners and the organization’s new Rapid Response Field Kitchen were readied so teams could provide water and hot meals quickly after the storms.

Both organizations are providing food, shelter, and emergency assistance in more than 10 states that were affected by Hurricane Helene. As some of the same damaged areas prepare for a second major hurricane in less than two weeks, the need for support is great.

Those wishing to donate can do so through October 18 at all six Common Man-named restaurants in Lincoln, Ashland, Concord, Claremont, Merrimack, and Windham; all Common Man Roadside locations in New Hampshire; Airport Diner in Manchester; Tilt’n Diner in Tilton; Route 104 Diner in New Hampton; Italian Farmhouse, Foster’s Boiler Room, The Flying Monkey, New Berry’s/JJ’s, and The Common Man Inn & Spa in Plymouth; Lago, Camp, and Lakehouse in Meredith; The Common Man Company Store in Ashland, and The Common Man Inn Claremont.

Guests who cannot make it to a Common Man family location can donate online to either the American Red Cross or World Central Kitchen via microsites set up for The Common Man’s fundraiser. Visit theCman.com/do-good and click on the logo of the organization you’d like to donate to. Online donations made through these Common Man fundraising sites will also be matched.

Celebrating more than 53 years of hospitality in New Hampshire, The Common Man independent hospitality family is made up of 15 restaurants, four Inns, a Spa, Company Store, The Flying Monkey Movie House and Performance Center, The Barn on the Pemi wedding and event center, and The Common Man Roadside locations.

 NEW HAMPSHIRE RESIDENTS RAISE MORE THAN $2M FOR HUMANITARIAN AID TO WAR-TORN UKRAINE

NH Relief for Ukraine Fund Exceeds Goal Thanks to Thousands of Donors Throughout Granite State

ASHLAND, NH – As the war rages on in Ukraine, the people of New Hampshire have sent their support and crucial humanitarian aid to Ukrainians via donations to the NH Relief for Ukraine Fund, surpassing the fundraiser’s $1 million goal.

The fund was started in May by Alex Ray, owner of The Common Man hospitality family in New Hampshire, with a commitment to match every donation, dollar-for-dollar, up to $1 million. With The Common Man’s promised match, more than $2 million has been allocated to provide relief to Ukrainian refugees in Poland and those still living in war-ravaged Ukraine.

A committed group of volunteers and others joined Ray in this statewide charitable endeavor, including former New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch, The Common Man family, WMUR-TV, iHeart Media, Granite United Way, New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and the Rotary Clubs of Plymouth, NH and Warsaw, Poland.

“We asked the people of New Hampshire for help, and their answer was overwhelming,” said Ray. “Ukrainians are headed into a brutally-cold winter in already uncertain conditions – unreliable power, limited or no heat, and unstable living conditions. Your donations are providing warmth and sustenance. You are saving lives.”

In the six months since the fundraiser began, more than 2,500 unique donors contributed more than $1.2 million through the fund’s fiscal agent, Granite United Way. Donations are securely transferred to Polish Rotary District #2331 to ensure the funds go to their intended purposes. The partnership with Polish Rotary was developed through Ray’s membership in the Rotary Club of Plymouth, NH.

Ray and members of the NH Relief for Ukraine committee visited Poland and Ukraine in May to assess the immediate needs of Ukrainian refugees and establish project goals for the fund. As donations came in, they were quickly wired to provide timely assistance for food, shelter, and other vital needs. The group returned to Poland and Ukraine in October to check on the progress of the programs that were funded.

“We met heroes who were building a network for the delivery of humanitarian aid,” said Susan Mathison, a member of the NH Relief for Ukraine committee and Plymouth, NH resident who joined Ray on both trips. “We saw thousands of people stacked bed-to-bed in refugee centers, orphanages full of children traumatized by their losses, and we met Ukrainians determined to do whatever it takes to help each other to remain, Ukrainian.”

To date, the NH Relief for Ukraine fund has assisted in the purchase and delivery of more than 700 tons of food to orphanages and refugee centers throughout Ukraine; funded a trauma counseling center for children; purchased and deployed a Bloodmobile, which supplies field hospitals throughout Ukraine; distributed hundreds of generators; is striving to provide more than 10,000 sleeping bags to give extra warmth this winter; and assisted with repairs and supplies for orphanages and centers for children with disabilities.

Ray and members of the fundraising committee are planning another visit to Ukraine in December to participate in a convoy that will deliver supplies, gifts and holiday treats to children living in orphanages across the region.

Ray will dress in a traditional “Father Frost” wardrobe to bring some cheer and smiles to children facing such difficult conditions this holiday season.

Donations to NH Relief for Ukraine can be made online via the fund’s fiscal agent Granite United Way at www.graniteuw.org or by texting NH4UKRAINE to 41444. Checks made out to Granite United Way with NH Relief for Ukraine in the memo line can be mailed to: Granite United Way, 22 Concord St., Manchester, NH 03101. Information about effort and a donation link can also be found at www.cman4ukraine.org.

 NH RELIEF FOR UKRAINE FUND SURPASSES HALFWAY MARK TO $1 MILLION GOAL

Donations From NH Are Actively Funding Critical Needs of Ukrainians

ASHLAND, NH – With more than $600,000 raised thanks to the generosity of more than 2,200 donors, the New Hampshire Relief for Ukraine Fund has exceeded the halfway mark to a $1 million goal.

The Common Man Family is matching every donation, dollar-for-dollar, up to $1 million, with the ultimate goal of sending $2 million in donations to be allocated to critical humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine and Poland. The funds are distributed by Polish Rotary District #2331 for secure and reliable control that ensures funds go to their intended purposes.

Started in May by The Common Man family of restaurants and their owner Alex Ray, the fundraiser, which hoped to assist Ukrainians living in their war-torn country and those who fled to safety in Poland, morphed into a statewide effort with additional partners including former New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch, WMUR-TV, iHeart Media, Granite United Way, New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and the Rotary Clubs of Plymouth, NH and Warsaw, Poland.

The fund has already made it possible for the Rotary Clubs of Poland to purchase and distribute more than 200 tons of food to refugees in Poland and to Ukrainians still living in their home country. Other critical programs the funds are supporting include the purchase of a Bloodmobile to serve as a field hospital in Ukraine, a day care and trauma counseling center for Ukrainian refugee children in Poland, and an orphanage/safe housing for children in Ukraine.

A benefit night held in early August by the New Hampshire Fisher Cats raised more than $10,000 for the fund, with the team donating 50% of individual ticket sales. In addition, 100% of the 50/50 raffle was donated back to the fund, 50% from the Fisher Cats and 50% from the winning ticket holders, Lansing Building Products.

“The war continues to rage in Ukraine and we need your help to keep the important work going to support the people so deeply affected by this crisis,” said Common Man owner and founder Alex Ray. “We are touched by the donations from New Hampshire citizens and businesses that recognize the critical importance of this humanitarian aid.”

A member of the Plymouth, NH Rotary Club, Ray and project leaders spent a week back in May meeting and traveling with Rotarians in Warsaw and Zamosc, Poland. They crossed the border and traveled to Lviv, Ukraine where they met Ukrainian Rotarians as they delivered food supplies to an orphanage and visited refugee centers. The group visited a convention center that was converted into a shelter, a Soviet-era military barracks converted into a refugee center, a proposed children’s day care and trauma counseling center, and a warehouse coordinating emergency food deliveries into eastern Ukraine.

Donations to NH Relief for Ukraine can be made online via the fund’s fiscal agent Granite United Way at www.graniteuw.org or by texting NH4UKRAINE to 41444. Checks made out to Granite United Way with NH Relief for Ukraine in the memo line can be mailed to: Granite United Way, 22 Concord St., Manchester, NH 03101.

NEW HAMPSHIRE’S COMMON MAN FAMILY LAUNCHES UKRAINE RELIEF FUND, COMMITS TO MATCH UP TO $1 MILLION IN DONATIONS

Hospitality Family Owner Alex Ray Leaves for Poland Sunday to Assess Relief Efforts and Needs for Ukrainian Refugees

ASHLAND, NH  - The Common Man hospitality family in New Hampshire has launched the Common Man Ukraine Relief Fund to benefit Ukrainian refugees and those assisting with relief efforts in Poland and surrounding countries, and has committed to matching up to $1 million dollars in donations.

Common Man owner Alex Ray launched the fund this week during a benefit he hosted to honor Lech Walesa, President of Poland from 1990-1995 and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Ray, Common Man family and Plymouth Rotary representatives will travel to Poland this Sunday to meet with Polish and Ukrainian Rotary representatives and other agencies providing relief to Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war in their home country. Their goal is to assess the most critical needs on the ground, make connections with relief agencies, and by partnering with Granite United Way, ensuring donations raised in New Hampshire would have a direct path to those in need.

“We’ve lined up five days of meetings with people who can show us the work that is underway and what needs exist,” said Ray. “We’ll make sure it’s secure and we’ll develop relationships with those we can trust to direct the funds to go immediately to the most critical projects. We want our donations to go from our hand to their land.”

The Common Man has been part of a New Hampshire-based effort to bring relief to the Ukraine region, most recently offering its restaurants as collection sites for donations of critical supplies, which garnered vans full of medical supplies, diapers, toiletries, and more. Ray took that passion and rolled it into his announcement of the Common Man Ukraine Relief Fund, partnering with Granite United Way as fiscal agent to provide a convenient way for Granite Staters and beyond to donate.

Donations for the Common Man Ukraine Relief Fund can be made by clicking HERE or by texting CMAN4UKRAINE to 41444. One hundred percent of donations will be directed to relief efforts in Ukraine and countries supporting Ukrainian refugees and matched, dollar for dollar, totaling $2 million.

“Alex Ray has the vision and passion to help others, and this generous match showcases that in the best way. Granite United Way was so impressed with Alex’s commitment to the people of Ukraine that we readily volunteered our services to be part of this important relief effort,” said Patrick Tufts, President and CEO of Granite United Way. “We are honored to partner with him and the Common Man team to bring the help that is needed to those affected by the crisis in Ukraine. Alex recognizes that we can do more, more effectively, when we work together.”

Ray said he feels compelled to travel to Poland because while those of us outside of the war-torn region can’t change what Ukrainians are going through, we can help them suffer less by raising funds that will assist them in securing medicine, food, comfort and safety.

“The Common Man family, our guests, and supporters have spent more than 50 years striving to help others here at home and now, we are reaching beyond our borders,” said Ray. “We need your help NOW. Ukrainian refugees and their Polish hosts need YOUR help. Every donation will be doubled and will make a big difference to those in desperate need.”

THE COMMON MAN GUESTS AND STAFF RALLY BEHIND KINDNESS FOR KENTUCKY FUNDRAISER 

 Tornado Relief Funds Total More Than $112K 

ASHLAND, NH – Granite Staters eager to help Kentucky residents displaced by a devastating tornado got behind The Common Man restaurants’ “Kindness for Kentucky” fundraiser, donating more than $56,000 to the Do Good effort, which was matched by the hospitality family for a total of more than $112,000 raised.  

As Common Man owner Alex Ray and volunteers from New Hampshire headed to the tornado-ravaged Mayfield, Kentucky to assist with recovery efforts, Common Man locations across New Hampshire collected donations in-store and via two online donation sites that were set up for American Red Cross and World Central Kitchen. In-store donations totaled more than $12,500, while online donations for American Red Cross exceeded $11,000 and World Central Kitchen donations totaled more than $31,000. The Common Man family matched all donations.  

Ray and fellow volunteers from New Hampshire delivered a trailer full of clothing and goods donated by Bridge House Ladders Thrift in Plymouth, NH. They also spent close to a week working at World Central Kitchen’s large-scale food operations, feeding hundreds of tornado victims and first responders daily.  

“I can’t believe the amount of food and supplies that were coming in to the area to assist residents,” said Ray. “At one point, there was a line of cars and trucks donating on one side of the lot we were in, and on the other side were vehicles of residents lined up to receive assistance. It was an incredible effort.” 

Ray said that contributors to the “Kindness for Kentucky” effort back in New Hampshire played an equally vital role. “Their donations make it possible for non-profits like American Red Cross and World Central Kitchen to mobilize and move quickly when disaster strikes.” 

“We are grateful for the ongoing support of The Common Man and their generous patrons. The recent tornadoes hit our southern states hard leaving behind devastating destruction and people in need of humanitarian aid for their most basic needs,” said Red Cross Northern New England CEO, Stephanie Couturier.  

“The Common Man stepped up, as they so often do, to raise $27,336, combining donations from their patrons, and a company match. With their support, the Red Cross is now able to remain in those devastated areas providing comfort and aid to individuals and families as they recover,” said Couturier. 

“World Central Kitchen is a team of food first responders who know that a hot meal is so much more than a plate of food – it's hope, it's dignity, it's a sign that someone cares,” said World Central Kitchen CEO Nate Mook. “We’re grateful to count on Alex and The Common Man, not only in fundraising and monetary support, but for their eager belief in our mission and willingness to roll up their sleeves. They helped WCK serve more than 100K meals to the communities affected by the devastating tornadoes.” 

Celebrating more than 50 years of hospitality in New Hampshire, The Common Man was founded in 1971 by owner Alex Ray. The independent hospitality family is made up of 15 restaurants, two Inns, a Spa, Company Store, The Flying Monkey Movie House and Performance Center, The Barn on the Pemi wedding and event center and Common Man Roadside in Hooksett, Plymouth and Manchester. Locations include Common Man-named restaurants in Lincoln, Ashland, Concord, Claremont, Merrimack and Windham; Common Man Inn & Spa, Foster’s Boiler Room, Italian Farmhouse, The Barn on the Pemi and The Flying Monkey in Plymouth; Common Man Inn & Restaurant in Claremont; Lakehouse Grille, Camp, Lago and Town Docks in Meredith; Route 104 Diner in New Hampton; Tilt’n Diner in Tilton; Airport Diner in Manchester; and the Co.
