The Community Children’s Fund is a gift fund established by the Town of Groton’s Commissioners of the Trust Funds in 1992. The original name of the fund was Town Hall Santa, but because the fund does so much more than provide families with food, holiday gifts and other items related to the December holidays, the Commissioners changed the name to the Community Children’s Fund.

For families from Groton or Dunstable wishing to apply for assistance during the December holidays, please contact either your child’s school nurse, a guidance counselor, or Karen Tuomi, who is in charge of the Fund, at (978) 877-6787.

All information is strictly confidential. All applications or inquiries should be made by early December for assistance with this year’s gifts.

For families wishing to donate to the fund, checks can be made out to the Community Children’s Fund and sent to: 173 Main Street, Groton, MA 01450.
