Membership

Charity Newsies Members are responsible for organizing and implementing the annual Drive Day on the second Saturday of December. Since its founding in 1907, Charity Newsies members have played a critical role in making the Charity Newsies mission possible. In addition to their significant fundraising efforts, Charity Newsies members volunteer thousands of hours each year to distribute clothing to kids, engage in community outreach, take and process applications for families, etc.

As a member, you have an opportunity to participate in multiple ways, including:

      • Working in the warehouse to stock and package clothing for kids

      • Assisting with clothing distribution by giving clothes to happy families

      • Volunteering on Drive Day

      • Volunteering to support other Charity Newsies fundraising events

      • Enjoying a wide variety of social events, from golf outings to Clippers Nights
