Annual Appeal Campaign

For over 50 years, the Woman’s Club of Greene County has been dedicated to enhancing life in our community through volunteer service. Whether providing a safety net for local children and food-insecure families, supporting our senior citizens, or providing scholarship for college-bound high school graduates, we have worked together for five decades to keep our community strong.

 

Our membership has increased to over 65 members, almost double from two years ago. Together we have worked thousands of volunteer hours, making Greene County a better place to live, work, and raise a family.  We hope you will be inspired to support us in our work.  

 

We currently have 4 cornerstone projects: 

·      Caring for Children Christmas Gift Program: We provide Christmas gifts to needy children in Greene County.  Last year we helped make the holidays brighter for 380 children.  

·      Senior Gift Project: We work with local agencies such as the JABA Greene County Senior Center to identify ways to enrich the lives of our seniors. Over the past two years we have contributed over $6,000 in items to several different agencies supporting seniors (games, activity books, snacks, gift cards, etc.), including a donation to the Home Meal Delivery Program.

·      Scholarships and Education: We award 2-3 scholarships to young women graduating from William Monroe High School. We will provide $6,000 to scholarship recipients this year. We also provide school materials, including scissors and crayons for incoming kindergarten students and donate books to the Head Start programs. 

·      Health and Well-Being: We support food-insecure children and families by helping to stock school pantries with healthy snacks and providing funding for the school backpack programs. We also provide feminine hygiene products to Feeding Greene and Greene County Schools.  Our members also volunteer at the Greene Clinic Medical Supply Closet several times a month.  

 

While our fundraisers provide a strong foundation, the heart of our work relies on individual donors like you. Your financial gift stays entirely local, going directly to work where it is needed most in Greene County. Together, we can achieve even greater things in the years to come.

 

Thank you for being an essential part of our journey. Your support ensures we can continue our mission of improving local lives.
