There are two charitable divisions of Northlake Newcomers

 

Monthly Community Outreach:

​

At every luncheon each month, we collect cash, personal care items, and nonperishable food for the Samaritan Center and the Covington Food Bank.  Items include beans, rice, canned broth and soup, canned vegetables, canned meat, powdered milk, instant potatoes, mac & cheese, and canned fruit.

 

Seasonally, we collect Mardi Gras Beads for ARC (Advocates for the intellectually disabled). Before Christmas and Easter, we collect cash and items to make gift baskets for moms and children housed at Safe Harbor or Hope House. Items include edible treats, small toys, baby items, children's and adults' bath and body items. ​

​

Yearly Philanthropic Fundraiser:

​

Each year, the club members are presented with several local non-profit charities to vote on, choosing one as our fundraising project for that year. The Philanthropic Committee will then begin working on the yearly fundraiser raffle and bingo held each April.  The proceeds from the fundraiser are presented to the chosen charity at our May luncheon.​​
