Congratulations to the GFWC (General Federation of Women’s Clubs) Woman’s Club, a nonprofit 501(3)C group in Wesley Chapel, for being applauded by Avalon Park Wesley Chapel.
The GFWC Wesley Chapel Woman’s Club is dedicated to community improvement and helping those in need, through volunteer service and fundraising events. The organization is likely to focus much of its efforts on domestic violence and awareness, homelessness, hospice, and foster care, among other community issues.
The GFWC Woman’s Club has been together since February 2020. It is a small organization led by strong female community members, like newly elected president Shantel Meyers.
In just a small amount of time, the nonprofit provided Luggage of Love with suitcases for children in foster care, raised $500 in college scholarship money for a young lady, installed a little free library in Lexington Oaks, and helped other nonprofits such as Planned PetHood, the Ronald McDonald House, and Caterpillars to Butterflies.
The club also worked closely with Sunrise Domestic Violence Shelter, where it adopted its own room and provided bed linens, wall decor, etc.
“We wanted to dress up the room for women and families for a fresh and positive look for their recovery,” says Meyers.
Meyers and the club also hosted a food drive to provide food for the shelter, and gifted purses stuffed with women’s essentials.
“The most rewarding part about being involved with this organization is the personal satisfaction of helping others and the unexpected personal growth from what we learn and do,” says Meyers.
The club meets once a month, on the first Wednesday, at Atonement Lutheran Church in Wesley Chapel from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
“We are always looking for new members to join us,” says Meyers.
