The Rindge Chamber of Commerce has named Bruce White of Whiteโ€™s Farm Stand as its 2025 Business Leader of the Year and Got Lunch as its 2025 Nonprofit of the Year.

White is recognized for his long-standing commitment to local agriculture and community life. Through Whiteโ€™s Farm Stand on Route 119, he continues a family tradition of providing locally grown food, preserving maple sugaring and supporting seasonal community events. He has donated to local organizations including the Rindge Womanโ€™s Club, Rindge Food Pantry and the chamber, and has hosted Franklin Pierce University students to learn about maple sugaring.

Got Lunch is honored for ensuring children in the Jaffrey-Rindge school district have access to healthy food. Founded in 2013 by the First Congregational Church and Society, the volunteer-led program delivers groceries year-round, with emphasis on school breaks. It serves 40 families and more than 90 children.

The recipients will be recognized at the Rindge Chamber of Commerce annual gala Jan. 17 at Hidden Hills Estates in Rindge. Tickets and sponsorships are available through info@rindgechamber.org
