Belknap House opened at the end of February to offer shelter to homeless families in Laconia and neighboring communities. With four part-time members of staff managing the shelter, Belknap House is relying on volunteers to fill five shifts seven days a week. Anyone wishing to volunteer should sign up on the Facebook page — Facebook.com/belknap house — or call Belknap House at 527-8097. For more information, to volunteer or to donate visit the Belknap House website at www.belknaphouse.org. The building at 200 Court St. that has become Belknap House had no kitchen.
