Clubwomen Attended Fundraiser to Benefit Operation Chillout

Members of the (CLUB NAME,) a member of the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs (NJSFWC) of GFWC, joined with club women from across northern New Jersey at a Wine and Cheese fundraiser to benefit Operation Chillout. The event was held at the Woman’s Club of Upper Montclair’s beautiful clubhouse. In addition to enjoying the wine and cheese and each other’s company, members could take chances on some lovely baskets donated by the members.
The member clubs of the NJSFWC have been busy for over a year and a half supporting Operation Chillout, New Jersey’s oldest (and only) all-volunteer mobile outreach for homeless veterans, men and women, and the 2020-2022 NJSFWC Special State Project.  Members have donated water, t-shirts and baseball caps for summer and backpacks filled with socks, thermal underwear, zipped hooded sweatshirt, knit cap, and gloves for winter to help the homeless vets. Money is being raised for Operation Chillout’s tiny home project and other needs for our veterans. The results of this project will be announced at the NJSFWC Annual Convention in late April.
