“That No School Child Shall Miss School For Need of Shoes or Clothing.” This is the motto the Canton Ex-Newsboys stand by! The Canton Ex-Newsboys Association was founded in 1960 as a 100% charitable organization. One hundred percent of donations go to purchase shoes and clothing. Stark County children, ages kindergarten through 12th grade, are the recipients of this great charity. Each December, its members publish and sell an annual newspaper as a means of fundraising for the organization. The production and printing of the charity newspaper is provided by The Repository. Watch for the Canton Ex-Newsboys hawking the streets with the charity edition and make a donation. Since 1960, the Canton Ex-Newsboys have provided more than $4.2 million in coats, shoes and other clothing to the needy children of Stark County. More than 55,800 children have been recipients of the Ex-Newsboys efforts. Become a member of the Canton Ex-Newsboys! For only $30 per year, members dues cover all administration fees of the organization, ensuring that all donations go directly to the children in need. Officers and Trustees for 2023:
