The Goodfellows Club has been reaching out to Daviess County’s less fortunate children since 1916 providing clothing, shoes, coats, dental care, and Christmas joy. Throughout the years, people have responded to the call for financial and volunteer support - they are the “Goodfellows.”

These “Goodfellows” come from all walks of life, some donating pennies in an elementary school “penny war,” others much larger gifts in honor or in memory of loved ones.

The Goodfellows Club provides resources and services to assist in meeting physical, social, and psychological needs of disadvantaged schoolchildren in Owensboro and Daviess County.

The generosity of area contributors and commitment of volunteers enable the Goodfellows Club to fulfill its mission, reaching approximately 2,000 students with gifts valued at over $100,000.00 annually. Donations are solicited through the daily “Roll Call” in the Messenger-Inquirer beginning Thanksgiving Day and continuing through Christmas. Contributions are also given during the annual “Messiah” performance in December. You can make a big difference in the life of a child.

Become a “Goodfellow” today.
