The Exchange Club of Indian River Foundation is a charitable 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization founded in 2001 exclusively for charitable purposes, specifically to aid in the prevention of child abuse. Because members believe every child in their community should have the opportunity to grow up healthy, safe, and strong, the Foundation funds local projects in pursuit of this goal.
Exchange Club of Indian River has provided the community with programs in youth activities, service, and Americanism since 1973. It is affiliated with America’s service club, the National Exchange Club. Members meet for lunch at C.J. Cannon’s Wednesdays at noon. Meetings feature programs on a wide range of business, government and civic, charity, personal, and professional topics.
