Community Service Projects

Local Action. Lasting Impact.

Community service is the heart of GFWC-South Brunswick Islands. Through ongoing projects and hands-on volunteerism, our members work together to meet local needs, build relationships, and uplift Brunswick County — one project at a time.

Our work reflects the core values of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, aligning with national Community Service Program (CSP) areas: Civic Engagement, Education, Arts & Culture, Environment, and Health & Wellness.
