Veteran auctioneer John Terrio returns again this year to run the live auction.

Founded as the Nashua Pastoral Care Center in 1987, the agency became the Front Door Agency on its 25th anniversary.

Over the years, the agency has assisted an estimated 80,000 individuals, most all of them single women and children, emerge from crisis situations and guide them on a path to self-sufficiency.

Funds raised by the Gourmet Festival & Auction make up a significant part of Front Door’s operating budget, which includes covering the costs of programs designed to help young

mothers and their children who are facing homelessness to realize longterm solutions, according to the agency.
