SVdP Exeter relies on local individuals, organizations and businesses to continue serving our low-income neighbors in need. Please consider making a gift, whether financial, food items or your time, to allow us to continue serving the community.
Financial Donations
Monetary Donations Are Preferred: Your tax-deductible financial donation is the most effective and direct way to help our neighbors in need. We acquire much of our food from the New Hampshire Food Bank, where the buying power of your contribution is enormous. In recent years, we have been able to buy as much as $40 of food for every $1 donated! This has a far greater impact than food donations. Please consider contributing a monetary donation to help us continue serving our low-income neighbors.
Monthly Recurring Donations: We welcome you to become an ongoing supporter of SVdP Exeter through recurring donations. Your gifts will help us become more sustainable by enabling us to plan for programming throughout the year and providing SVdP Exeter with a continuous source of funding to support community initiatives. If you are interested in becoming a regular supporter, please click here to set up your donations online, or call us at

Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account. It allow individuals, families and organizations to grant tax-deductible charitable donations of cash, publicly traded stock and, in some cases, certain illiquid assets to a public charity such as SVdP Exeter.
Vehicle Donations
The National Vehicle Donation Program of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul USA accepts all vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and trailers.
Donated vehicles are not required to be in operational order and will be towed at no cost to you. When a donated vehicle is sold at auction, the proceeds are sent directly to SVdP Exeter and we will provide you with a receipt for tax purposes.
