Community Service Programs (CSPs)

Arts and Culture

Civic Engagement and Outreach

Civic Engagement and Outreach

 The study of art and culture enriches the human experience. Art education improves problem solving and critical thinking skills, builds focus and perseverance, and nurtures creativity, confidence, and collaboration. Cultural awareness promotes effective communication and profoundly increases the ability to appreciate and enjoy a variety of new people and experiences.

Civic Engagement and Outreach

Civic Engagement and Outreach

Civic Engagement and Outreach

The GFWC Civic Engagement and Outreach Community Service Program reminds GFWC members that each of us is a part of a larger society and is responsible for undertaking actions that will create a better quality of life and foster a sense of community—locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. The four “broad strokes” of this effort include: Citizenship; Crime Prevention, Safety, and Disaster Preparedness; the Needy, Hungry, and Homeless; and Our Military Personnel and Veterans.

Education and Libraries

Civic Engagement and Outreach

Education and Libraries

GFWC members promote education in both children and adults. We aim to help others, while we also continue to learn.

Projects in the Education Community Service Program are designed to foster schools, as well as other educational institutions

and opportunities, and to promote literacy, libraries, and the love of a good book. Through these efforts, we encourage the

growth of individuals and communities at home and around the world.

Health and Wellness

Health and Wellness

 The human body, mind, and spirit comprise our health and wellness. To improve our wellbeing, we must address three key components: nutrition, disease prevention, and physical and emotional care. This Community Service Program aims to explore the various opportunities for awareness and advancement of each of these vital areas.

GFWC Vinton Woman's Club and the Vinton Police Department continued their annual tradition of planting the Vinton Pinwheel Garden despite COVID-19. After talking with town officials, members decided to proceed by staying more than six feet apart with only four participants.  Three club members and a spouse maintained social distancing to plant the pinwheels to bring attention to Child Abuse Awareness Month in April. Concern about the well-being of children is perhaps even more important during these trying times.

MRWC members have actively helped others during the pandemic. They prepared and delivered 100 bag lunches for the homeless in April. They also held a virtual drive for Feed More, which is the Central Virginia foodbank, and the Richmond SPCA. Additionally, members donated funds for supplies and have been making protective masks for residents and staff at a local assisted living facility.
