GFWC National Day of Service (GFWC NDS)
GFWC NDS is a day in which all of GFWC come together to highlight an area of need, take action, and raise public awareness about its importance. This year’s GFWC NDS issue of focus is food insecurities. On September 28th, Women’s Clubs worldwide will volunteer at local food banks and organize food drives to raise awareness and advocate for ending food insecurity.
For the 2024 National Day of Service, our club held a Food Drive for the Quola Soup Kitchen. We partnered with three local businesses for food collection drop-off locations. The nonperishable items requested are jumbo or regular-sized canned vegetables, soup, fruit, pasta, rice, peanut butter, disposable bowls, plates and cups, socks, washcloths, shampoo, soup, and personal hygiene items. Just before the GFWC NDS, Hurricane Helene devastated our local area, and these items became much more needed. Azalea City Woman’s Club is very thankful for all the donations.
