A bond that keeps giving
Mothers, daughters find joy in reaching out together
to the needy
By Nancy Shohet West, Globe Correspondent | December 24, 2006
It's a common dilemma for parents. Everyone wants to teach their children more about charity and helping the needy -- optimally through hands-on experience -- but where do you find the right opportunities?

Like mother,
like daughter:

The Legacy of National Charity League, Inc.
The legacy history of National Charity League can be traced back to 1925 when a small group of women in Los Angeles, who were interested in philanthropic work, met together and called themselves The Charity League. They worked quietly, doing Red Cross work, making layettes and delivering food baskets to the needy at holiday time. A few daughters met with their mothers to help; one of these daughters was the future Mrs. Paul William Lawrence, considered the founder of National Charity League.
