Club Community Service

GFWC clubwomen are true volunteers in action - in 2006, our members raised nearly $32 million on behalf of more than 230,000 projects and volunteered more than 8.4 million hours in the communities where they live and work. 

More than 100,000 members in affiliated clubs in every state and more than a dozen countries work in their own communities to support the arts, preserve natural resources, advance education, promote healthy lifestyles, encourage civic involvement and work toward world peace and understanding.

GFWC clubs work in six main Community Service Program Areas.  In addition to these core areas, GFWC also fosters special projects and programs on a variety of issues.

Arts -- Activities in this Community Service program area are designed to stimulate the artistic interests of GFWC members with participation in arts and sculpture preservation; disabilities and the arts; and various contests including Photography, Painting, Quilting, Short Story, Drama and Poetry.
