The MLK Day of Service is a national effort encouraging volunteers across the country to join together for a day of community service. One of GFWC’s Seven Grand Initiatives for its 2018-2020 Administration is for clubs to answer that call and demonstrate the power of volunteerism and community leadership. GFWC clubs serve their communities year-round, but this national day of service provides a special opportunity to join neighbors, family, and friends in taking action.

The General Federation of Women’s Clubs is a unifying force, bringing together local women’s clubs, with members dedicated to strengthening their communities and enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service. With nearly 80,000 members in affiliated clubs in every state and more than a dozen countries, GFWC members are community leaders who work locally to create global change by supporting the arts, preserving natural resources, advancing education, promoting healthy lifestyles, encouraging civic involvement, and working toward world peace and understanding.
