EFFINGHAM — U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan has recognized Lynette Kaichen of Effingham as June’s Granite Stater of the Month. Kaichen founded The Pass Along Project, which provides clothing to children in foster care.

Ten years ago, Kaichen and her husband became foster parents for children in emergency cases. The children, who often had little time to pack a bag with personal items or clothes, would show up to their new foster home with nothing of their own. She realized that if an organization could have every size of clothing ready ahead of time, every child in a foster home could have the clothes that they need.
