There are two divisions of Northlake Newcomers' community outreach.

 

We collect nonperishable food for The Samaritan Center and other local food banks.  Items include beans, rice, canned broth and soup, canned vegetables, canned meat, powdered milk, instant potatoes, mac & cheese, and canned fruit.

 

Another project is headed by the Philanthropic Committee.  Each year, the club members are presented with several local charities which we could help for the year.  The club, as a whole, votes for the charity of the year. 

 

For the year 2024 - 2025, Northshore Humane Society was chosen as that charity. Northshore Humane Society is a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue and community veterinary clinic located in Covington, LA.  They are an independent, non-governmental charity that does not receive any tax funding; they rely solely on the support of caring people to fund their life-saving programs and services!! Since 1953, they have served the neglected and abandoned animals of the Northshore region, and today they stand as one of the largest animal welfare organizations in the state of Louisiana

 

Newcomers decide on fund-raising activities for raising money for the charity.  Activities include a charity bingo and raffle.
