Friends of Forgotten Children’s Christmas Star program collects and distributes holiday gifts to children from birth to 18 years old throughout the greater Concord and Merrimack County. With the incredible generosity our supporters, over 760 children received holiday gifts in 2025.

Over the past 50+ years over 50,000 gifts have been provided to thousands of children for the holidays. These gifts would not have been possible without the donations by members of the community, local businesses, and social organizations. Each year the collaboration between FOFC and the community makes a difference in lives.
