Established in 1989, the Community Children’s Foundation was created by the Exeter Area Chamber of Commerce to raise funds to provide warm winter clothing and bedding to needy children in the 11 communities the Chamber serves.  The Community Children’s Foundation is a duly authorized  501(c)3 non-profit organization incorporated in the State of New Hampshire under the auspices of the Exeter Area Charitable Foundation.

Requests for assistance continue to trend upward, from 155 children and $5000 in our inaugural year of 1989, to the fall of 2019 where we provided clothing vouchers to 665 children totaling over $84,000.
