GFWC High Springs New Century Woman’s Club
Members from the GFWC High Springs New Century Woman’s Club of District 5 in Florida visited Partnership for Strong Families to present them with 24 “Birthday Bags.” They were thoughtfully made by the club to be distributed to children in foster care and families that are receiving support from the organization. The bags contained everything for a birthday party including: hats, balloons, table decorations, toys, and prizes. It wouldn’t be a party without a cake, so cake mixes, icing, and candles were also included! Some of the birthday bags are used by caseworkers to encourage families to spend quality time with their children.

GFWC Millington Junior Women's Club
Each year April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Kathleen Sweeney, Executive Director/Forensic Interviewer of The Child Advocacy Center of Tuscola County (CACTC), spoke at GFWC Millington Junior Women's Club (Michigan) monthly meeting and told members that 10% of the 235 reported cases of child abuse in 2017 in Tuscola County were from Millington Township, including Millington. It inspired them to take action with the "Color Me Blue" Project.
