According to NEAHDC president Bill Abdelnour “This was a co-operative effort between the amateur club and Plainridge Racecourse. We raced more this year and for bigger purses than we ever have, which is why we could contribute more.”

The Living Bread Food Pantry provides food for 30 to 40 Plainville families on a weekly basis.
