Members of the GFWC of Rhode Island are volunteers representing the full spectrum of lifestyles of women today - married, single, with and without children, homemakers, women in the marketplace, professional women, career women - with a common interest in community improvement. Clubs successfully marshal resources to tackle such issues as:
~ Women’s Health ~ Illiteracy ~ Child Abuse Prevention ~
~ Domestic Violence Awareness ~
~ Opportunities for People with Disabilities ~
The Plight of the Homeless ~ Substance Abuse Prevention
~ Advocacy for Children ~ Safety for Older Americans ~ ~Preservation of Natural Resources ~
