Plymouth Goodfellows

​​          James Brady founded the Detroit "Old Newsboys" organization in 1914. Harry C. Robinson and George Howell brought the idea to Plymouth in 1938, and the Plymouth Goodfellows Organization was established. Every Christmas for 87 years, the Goodfellows organization has been bringing kids happiness and joy during the holidays.

We are pleased to continue this tradition to give generously to Plymouth families in need.
