Food distribution Sept. 28 at Lake Alice
On Saturday, Sept. 28, GFWC clubs across the globe will unite in a powerful demonstration of service and solidarity for the GFWC National Day of Service. This year, the focus is on tackling food insecurity – a pressing issue that affects millions of families worldwide. From small towns to bustling cities, hundreds of clubs will come together to make a meaningful impact, highlighting the strength of community collaboration.
In Wewahitchka, the GFWC Wewahitchka Woman’s Club is stepping up to lead a local effort to fight hunger. The club is organizing a mobile food distribution site at Lake Alice, starting at 10 a.m. CT. This initiative is part of a broader global campaign, but it holds special significance for the Wewahitchka community, where the spirit of service runs deep.
Partnering with the Gulf County United Community Development Corporation and Second Harvest of the Big Bend, the GFWC Wewahitchka Woman’s Club aims to reach as many families as possible. The collaboration with these organizations ensures that the distribution will be efficient, well-coordinated, and impactful. Together, they will provide much-needed food supplies to those facing hardships, offering not just sustenance but also hope and support.
The GFWC National Day of Service is more than just a day of action; it is a testament to the enduring commitment of GFWC members to enhance the quality of life in their communities. By addressing food insecurity, the GFWC Wewahitchka Woman’s Club and their partners are helping to ensure that no one in their community goes hungry.
This event is a reminder that when communities come together with a common goal, the impact can be extraordinary. The GFWC Wewahitchka Woman’s Club invites everyone to join them on Sept. 28 at Lake Alice, not just to receive assistance but also to witness the power of community in action.
