Feed the Local Need
Local people and local food pantries are in need of food and paper goods. Help The Exeter Area Kiwanis Club by donating this week.
Exeter Area Kiwanis will have their Food Donation Trailer at the Citizens Bank parking lot, next to the Town Hall, each evening from 5 PM – 8 PM starting on Thursday, December 4 through Saturday, December 6. Anyone wishing to donate may do so by placing it in the trailer.
Canned goods and other non-perishable goods (rice, pasta, flour, sugar, etc.) will be happily accepted. In addition, paper products such as napkins, paper plates, and paper towels are always in demand. All donations will go to local food banks.
During the Holiday Parade on Saturday, December 6, the Kiwanians will have their Food Donation Trailer in the parade. Members of the Kiwanis sponsored youth group Key Club will walk along the parade route and collect any donations you bring to the parade.

“As we begin the holiday season let us all reflect on the blessing we have received and consider those less fortunate”, said Bill Smith, President of the Exeter Area Kiwanis. “There are too many hungry people in our area. Let’s share.” added Smith. “We are not asking people to feed an entire family. We are simply asking everyone to donate one can or one box. If everyone does it we will have plenty,” the Kiwanis President stated.
The Exeter Area Kiwanis Club is celebrating its 35th year of supporting our community’s children. The Kiwanis Club is a community based organization established to serve the needs of the community’s children. As such they have worked with organizations such as Big Brother/Big Sister, Head Start, Exeter New Outlook Teen Center, area fire departments, and the American Red Cross. They have financially supported the Exeter Hospital’s Emergency Helicopter Pad and the Mobile Children’s Dental Van. They are the proud sponsor of the Builder’s Club at the Middle School, the Key Club at the High School, and the Circle K at the University of New Hampshire. You may know them for their successful road races, golf tournaments, hot dog sales, or Pizza Bowl. They now look forward to the launching this new community service project.
