GFWC - Pleasant Prairie Woman's Club is all about bettering our communities, our youth, our families and our lives. With this in mind, we are always trying to help our community and its residents. We have provided pj's to a shelter that helps victims of domestic violence, we have supplied tools and equipment to a charity garden so it can provide fresh fruits and veggies to our food pantry's and soup kitchens, we purchased emergency backpacks for our homeless residents, and we have even made blankets for our elderly to stay warm during our cold winter months. If we know about a need in our community we try to do what we can to make someone else's load a little bit lighter.
How do we choose who receives assistance? Every member of GFWC - Pleasant Prairie Woman's Club plays a vital role in the selection process. Each member is given the opportunity to nominate any local organization that they feel is deserving. These nominations are collected by our Philanthropic Committee who confirm all the donation criteria is met then presents them to the Club for a vote. Once voted on and approved, we celebrate these recipients at our fall meeting.
