Change for Charity​

Thank you to all of our members for supporting the Douglas County Outreach Food Shelf.
This was the "Change for Charity" organization from July-Dec 2022.
​Vice President Kim Kettler presented a check on behalf of the Newcomers
for $523.58 to the food shelf's Executive Director, Bernie Wimmer.


​The Douglas County Outreach Food Shelf -
​This program is a community coalition serving people
in poverty challenged by transportation issues.

Each month, members bring spare change to contribute.
A box is passed around the tables to collect change for our chosen charity.
