WELCOME TO GFWC NEW YORK
The General Federation of Women's Clubs is an international women's organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service.
GFWC clubs and clubwomen are the fabric that binds not only the Federation, but the communities in which they live and work. By Living the Volunteer Spirit, GFWC clubwomen transform lives each day, not simply with monetary donations, but with hands-on tangible projects that provide immediate impact. With a grassroots approach that often thinks locally but impacts globally, GFWC, its clubs and members remain committed to serving as a force for global good, as it has done since its formation 131 years ago.
GFWC-Signature Project: Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention
October is Domestic Violence Prevention Month: 'United to End Abuse' National Domestic Violence Awareness Month has been recognized every October for the last 31 years as a time when people and communities across the United States honor those who have lost their lives to domestic violence.
GFWC Clubs across the nation and internationally have committed themselves to learning and teaching others. Each year, since 2012 we have given scholarships to survivors of abuse and will continue to do so. To learn more go to http://gfwc.org.

Time for a flu shot: Nearly every American six months and older should get a flu shot starting now, before flu cases are expected to rise at the end of October. Getting a COVID-19 booster, too? No problem. The CDC now says it’s fine to get the flu shot at the same time as the booster. As with many other vaccines, a jab is no guarantee you won’t get the flu, but it should reduce the severity if you do.
