Friends of Forgotten Children provides a wide variety of services to the community. Those services include a food pantry, a clothing swap shop, community meals and holiday baskets.
| Food Pantry |
 |
Friends of Forgotten Children have added non-food items that cannot be purchased with food stamps and that some other pantries do not stock, like soap, detergent, toothbrushes and household paper products. The pantry is open three days a week and families are allowed to come once a month.
Depending on supplies, Friends of Forgotten Children gives out enough food to feed each person for five to seven days. They also provide recipes and other advice on how to make supplies last longer.
We also have a mobile food pantry that delivers to Senior Housing. |
| Clothing Shop |
 |
Friends of Forgotten Children has established a clothing closet that distributes donated, clean clothes in good repair to families in need. There is no charge for clothing, but remember, these items have a long path from the home of the growing child to our attractively arranged shelves.
This is all achieved by volunteers, the backbone of our organization. Please share your time and skills so that others might benefit as well.
There is a variety of seasonally-appropriate clothing that is available.
People are welcome to come to our clothing room to thrift shop. We ask for a minimum donation of $4 per bag.

| Community Meals |
 |
We are now serving community meals. Check the Upcoming Events page for days and times. We hope you can join us.
We look forward to our new and existing volunteers enthusiastically preparing, serving and assisting the cleanup for these get-togethers. We also welcome group sponsorship of these meals on a bi-weekly basis.
Please call 603-753-4801 to volunteer your individual or corporate time!

| Holiday Baskets |
 |
Eleanor Still began Friends of Forgotten Children to be sure that no child went without gifts during the holiday season three decades ago. This tradition continues today.
Each holiday season individuals and organizations donate, wrap and pack gift baskets for distribute to those who might otherwise go without.
Friends of Forgotten Children also donate and pack holiday baskets at Thanksgiving and Easter.
