Philanthropy Committee News

About Us

Each year, our Newcomers group partners with a local non-profit in our area. The philanthropy committee develops a plan to aid and support this organization including material and financial donations as well as volunteer work. Over the years, we have held a variety of fundraising activities such as dinner galas, afternoon teas, member workshops, and flower arranging to support our chosen philanthropy. The programs are as varied as our members and are all completely voluntary. Besides having fun, these efforts contribute to the well being of our community.

  Committee: Barb B., Diana B., Connie B., Mary C., Darlene C., Jeannie D., Sandy E,

We are off to a great start with fundraising for Hunger Fighters, and we have a few more activities already in the works. At November’s luncheon there will be a Fall-themed raffle basket, created by Nancy O’Neill, with donations from our Book Club members.

We will also be collecting canned goods and shelf-stable food for Hunger Fighters’ pantry patrons. It would be great to have things on the shelves that are special for holidays- perhaps canned pumpkin, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce or other fruits and vegetables? Boxed mixes for cakes, cookies, muffins and other desserts would also be appreciated, as would sugar, flour and other baking essentials. Please make sure nothing is past its expiration date! And, it is always nice to remember the pets; the pantry has a pet food section too! We will have a Hunger Fighters’ collection box at the luncheon.
