It’s time for another one of the Insider’s fun scavenger hunts! This one has a bit of a twist on it, however. Reader Page Cannon, who is the executive director of non-profit Fellowship Housing Opportunities, suggested we do a scavenger hunt for local non-profit organizations.

You little scavengers out there will be looking for the logos of these non-profits, which are all located in downtown Concord. We’re hoping this raises awareness about some of the great non-profit organizations we have here in our fine city, but more than that, we’ll help them raise some money! Whoever correctly identifies the most logos can select any non-profit in town and we’ll make a $20 donation in the winner’s name.

Now get out there and get scavenging! We want someone to get them all right, so we’ve included some hints along with the logos. Hopefully someone will get a perfect 15 out of 15! Once you’re done searching, send us your scavenger hunt answers at news@theconcordinsider.com.

If you want, send us a photo of yourself on the hunt, too, and we may run it in a future issue. We’ll give you a couple weeks to get the hunting done before we print the answers.

Happy hunting!
