Our Mission
The Old Newsboys Association of Greater Lansing is a non-profit, equal opportunity, charitable organization, whose sole purpose is to provide footwear to children in Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton Counties.
The Old Newsboys Association
Lansing is lucky to be home to one of the oldest charities in the state. The Old Newsboys Association of Greater Lansing has been operating since 1924 to ensure children have the proper footwear to attend school and to stay healthy.
Join the Movement
Every year, the need for proper footwear increases which means we aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Please consider joining the Old Newsboys Association for $5 a year, maybe attend a board meeting, or help on Sales Day. There are many ways you can get involved. Contact us through the website and someone can call you back and explain how we operate. Over the past few years, we have served over 7,000 children, each year, in Lansing and within our 25-mile radius service area.
All the organization’s work is done on a volunteer basis. We can proudly say that 100% of the donations we collect on Sales Day goes toward our program of putting shoes and boots on children’s feet! Won’t you join the movement?
