History of National Charity League          

In 1925, a small group of women interested in philanthropic work founded the Charity League in Los Angeles, California. They worked quietly doing Red Cross work, making layettes and assembling and delivering baskets of food to the hungry at holiday times.  Sometimes they brought their daughters with them.  By 1938, so many daughters had become involved that they decided to form their own group.  They called themselves the Ticktockers.   In 1947, these groups united to become the first mother-daughter charity organization and took their present name, National Charity League.  

NCL was reorganized and incorporated as National Charity League, Inc. in 1958.  National Charity League, Inc. is comprised of over 139 Chapters in 15 states nationwide with over 33,000 members.  It is the only mother-daughter volunteer organization of its kind serving local communities together.
