Forty members from Florida District 10, including Juniorette and Women’s Club members, joined together for their National Day of Service Project.

The event is a fundraiser where attendees receive a painted ceramic bowl and sample soups from local restaurants. The proceeds benefit the food bank’s mission to feed their community.GFWC members also volunteered at the event assisting with set-up, stuffing swag bags, bowl selection of attendees, selling raffle tickets, and managing event areas.

In Washington State the GFWC Peninsula District Club contributed to the GFWC National Day of Service by volunteering at Emergency Food Network (EFN). EFN is a supplier to food banks in Pierce County, Washington. District members packed fresh vegetables and labeled bags for distribution. Working at EFN provided District Clubs the opportunity to work together and provided an activity should members’ home clubs have nothing planned.
