Wewa to host annual district meeting
With over 1,000 clubs/groups participating in the General Federation of Women’s Clubs’ National Day of Service, food was distributed, and food pantries were filled.
The Wewahitchka Woman’s Club, students from Wewahitchka High School’s Honor Society/Student Government Association and Gulf County United Community Development Corporation, Inc. came together to bag and hand out 12,500 pounds of food. Feeding over 500 families, this collective impact helps show the power of GFWC.
To continue on with helping Wewahitchka with food insecurities, the woman’s club will be hosting the annual district meeting. Clubs from Chipley, Chattahoochee, Marianna, Panama City, and Apalachicola will come meet and are encouraged to donate to our charity – the Wewahitchka Ministerial Food Pantries. Our sister clubs always look forward to helping the charity of the host club, and throughout the years have become a bit competitive as the club that donates the most items receives the coveted “apple award.”
GFWC Florida President Sara Dessureau will be attending the annual district meeting, and we will be learning more about her President’s Project, which is Flight of Honor. Before October 2025, it is our goal to raise $150,000 so that GFWC Florida’s veterans will have the honor to fly to Washington D.C. to see the war memorials. Hopefully, some of our District 2 veterans will be on that flight.
Come be a part of “Living the Volunteer Spirit.” GFWC Wewahitchka Woman’s Club meets the second Tuesday of each month at the Wewahitchka Community Building, at 5:30 p.m. CT. We would love to have you learn more about our 92-year-old club.
