Our members donated 14 duffle bags in May for the homeless families served by Family Promise of Gloucester County. The families receive duffle bags so that they don't have to carry their belongings from place to place in trash bags. We also collect money to purchase duffle bags.
The Woman's Club of West Deptford is the only organization that provides these bags, and the families are grateful. With this ongoing collection we continue to help the homeless in our community.
Thank you, Jeannette Wood, for chairing this project!
Thank you Jeanette for doing such a wonderful job!
Awesome group of women! So generous and thoughtful xo
Thank you to all the club members who donated money and the duffle bags. ❤️
Last night at our club meeting we heard from Tara Wilt, a Marine, a lawyer, and an FBI agent. What an interesting choice of careers!

I didn’t know Tara Wilt was in town!
Wonderful speaker...more girls need to hear her story.
Something to be proud of... the NJSFWC is credited for saving the Palisades. The Watchtower, with a plaque reading, "This Federation Park and this structure are dedicated to the successful efforts of the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs and of these men and women who aided in the opening years of the twentieth century in preserving these palisades cliffs from destruction for the glory of God who created them and the ennobling of the generations which may henceforth enjoy them."
Bergen County Mother's Day Hike Along Summit of the Palisades
Bergen County Mother's Day Hike. Relatively easy hike along the summit of the Palisades will cover about 4 miles in around 2 hours. Details on mybergen.com.We recently drove through here and my thoughts went back to the efforts by the NJFWC strong fight to save the Palisades not too long ago.
If this is doable for non-hikers, let's get a group together and do this.
