MADISON — U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas toured a Mount Washington Valley Habitat for Humanity home construction project in Eidelweiss on Thursday morning, and prior to that, he stopped in at The Way Station in North Conway.
The non-profit resource center at 15 Grove St. in North Conway is run out of the Lutheran Church of the Nativity. It serves the valley’s housing-insecure and homeless population.
