Yes! We are back for the
Bicentennial Summer!
What is Porches of Randolph?
Porches of Randolph is a new summer season activity for local residents and visitors to safely socialize outside during cocktail hour. Parties will be held in limited numbers on porches (and lawns) where guests can admire the unique, breathtaking views, and meet friends old and new.
Guests are encouraged to bring a donation with them in amount of their choosing or donate online here. 100% of proceeds will be distributed evenly to the Randolph Foundation, the Randolph Mountain Club, the Randolph Library, and (new for 2023) the Randolph Church Benevolence Fund.
When and Where?
Each porch or lawn party will be held at different Randolph residences during the summer season July 1 to September 4. Most parties will be held during cocktail hour 5-8pm. If you're attending more than one party note the wonderful differences between the Valley, Midlands, and Hill views!
How do I attend?
You'll RSVP like you would to a cocktail party (but online) and will only take a minute. We appreciate your understanding that each party has to have a guest limit. If a party you want is full you'll be asked if you want to be placed on the waitlist. We also ask you to consider providing a cash or check donation which you can bring to your party. Once signed up, you will be emailed the street address and details a day prior to your party.
Volunteer
If you can’t host this year, please consider volunteering. We need friendly faces at each event to check guests in, collect donations, and maybe take photos. Don't worry, you don't have to do clean up if you don't want to. Think of all the new people you'll meet! Also, if you want to donate food or drinks to any of the parties let us know or coordinate directly with the hosts.

What people are saying
What you're helping to support
100% of your donations will be split evenly between the following Randolph organizations. All administrative costs including design, web development have been donated by Redza and Keith Dempster. Porch Party hosts have donated their time and refreshments, and do not receive any reimbursement.
The Randolph Foundation
The Foundation was created, and is sustained, by the residents and friends of Randolph, New Hampshire. The Foundation supports the needs of Randolph and its neighboring towns in a variety of areas including conservation, communication, education, recreation, town history, leadership, health and welfare, and other important issues as determined by the Board of Directors and the Randolph community.
The Randolph Mountain Club
The RMC maintains a network of nearly 102 miles of hiking trails, principally on the northern slopes of Mount Madison, Mount Adams, and Mount Jefferson in the Presidential range of the White Mountain National Forest, and on the Crescent Range in the town of Randolph, NH. RMC's trails are maintained through the joint efforts of volunteers and a seasonal, paid professional trail crew as well as a part time fall trail crew.
Randolph Library
The Library mission is to nurture the life of the mind by providing free and equitable access to materials and educational experiences which celebrate ideas, promote creativity, connect people, and enrich lives. The Library is supported by the Friends, an enthusiastic group of volunteers whose mission is to promote and support the Library and community with resources and programming. Proceeds from Porches & Lawns will go to the tax-exempt Friends, ultimately benefiting the Library and all residents of Randolph.
Randolph Church Benevolence Fund
The Benevolence Fund of Randolph Church assists agencies in the Randolph-Gorham-Berlin area that minister effectively to human needs. The Benevolence Committee and the Benevolence Fund enable the Randolph Church to be an active participant in the Androscoggin Valley and Coos County communities, supporting social services agencies that maintain a track record of improving the physical and mental health, nutrition, and stability of local families. The Benevolence committee allocates the resources of the fund on a generally unrestricted basis to select agencies that meet these needs. The Benevolence Committee’s goal is to be a reliable and predictable source of support.
