Duluth Children's Home building at 504 North 15th avenue east and children on the sidewalk. The Children's Home Society was a privately endowed institution which derived part of its income from the annual Charity Ball.
It was founded in 1888 by Sarah Burger Stearns, but its beginnings date to 1883 and its first rooms in a small needlecraft shop operated by Mrs. Fogelson. She cared for 3 or 4 children. By 1886 the number of children had grown, and a group of interested women collected money to purchase a double house between 16th and 17th avenues east. In 1904 on June 3 and 4, it opened with 47 children being cared for at 15th Avenue East and Fifth street.

The Aftenro Society was organized in 1908 by a group of Norwegian women to raise money for the construction of a good Christian old people's home. Their first building was opened in 1921 with 30 residents and was named for the Norwegian word meaning �Evening�s Rest� (Aftenro). The Aftenro home presently continues its function as a home for the aged, in its location at 1423 North Nineteenth Avenue East. In this view of the new building, the entire front grounds area is a vegetable garden.

Hadassah members met in small and large groups to socialize and to raise money for Israel. The pushke, or canister, in the picture, could be found in many, if not most Jewish homes in the 1950s and 1960s. The blue and white canisters with the outline of Israel were used to collect money for land purchases and reforestation efforts, and were a direct reminder of the bond between Israel and the American Jews.
