Moultonborough Children's Santa Fund
The Moultonborough Children’s Holiday Trust, a.k.a., the Santa Fund, is a community initiative that seeks to support local families in need during the holiday season. Last year, 59 children in Moultonborough benefited from the fund. The need is even stronger this year and we can brighten up the holidays and bring joy to our neighbors by donating toys. To bring some holiday cheer, click on the link - SANTA FUND and choose a gift (or 2) that you would like to donate. Please bring them unwrapped and labelled with the child’s code to the December meeting. If you have any questions, please contact Libby Reichlen, Janet Schurko or Joanne Wilhelm.
Cash and check donations are accepted at the library all year long. Checks should be payable to The Moultonborough Children’s Holiday Trust. All donations are voluntary. More MWC info
Mitten Tree Program
Meredith Village Savings Bank’s Mitten Tree Program collects handmade or store‑bought winter gear, matches each item with a $2 donation, and distributes warm essentials to local schools, nonprofits, and food programs. If you have any questions regarding MWC’s yearly participation, please contact Janet Schurko.
What to donate: New, handmade, or store‑bought mittens, hats, gloves, and scarves (no wool, please)

Waypoint Kids
As in years past, in addition to the specific M’boro Santa Fund gifts, we are supporting Waypoint NH. There are 46 kids this year who need us – the need is greater than ever! Anything they receive is truly appreciated, but please remember that all donations are totally voluntary. If you want to donate, you can buy specific things based on suggestions from Family Support at Waypoint NH or you can buy gift cards for the older kids or for the parents to use to buy gifts for their kids. We have divided up our membership so we can hopefully have gifts for all the children – this year, we have 5 groups. Note that we rotate the target ages for members each year.
All donations are voluntary.
