ENRICHING THE COMMUNITY THROUGH SERVICE.
The mission of the Community Life arm of the Woman’s Club is to enrich the lives of our citizens through service projects and programs that improve the quality of life in our community directly or through collaboration with other organizations.
The committee’s goal is to build bridges of hope in our community through compassionate service and creative collaboration with open arms and caring hearts in friendship to create and uplift a higher quality of life for all in our community. Specific areas of focus include youth guidance, child welfare and health, women’s issues and other community affairs.
The committee is involved with improving and assisting the entire Coconut Grove community. Activities include, but are not limited to:
- Assisting the Coconut Grove Crisis Food Pantry by collecting non-perishable food items for their weekly food baskets.
