Who We Are
Women's Club of South County
Our Mission Statement
The GFWC Women's Club of South County, a local civic organization, seeks to bring women of all backgrounds together for philanthropic activities and community service. Our goal is to provide community support through volunteerism, provision of grants to local non-profit agencies, and educational scholarships to women in need.
​
We've been a member of the national GFWC since 1962 and have raised and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars which we have matched with thousands of volunteer hours.
​
We accomplish Our Mission by volunteering member service and time, fundraising, sponsoring events, awarding scholarships and supporting selected community organizations committed to Arts & Culture, Civic Engagement & Outreach, Education & Libraries, Environment, and Health & Wellness.
