The GFWC Civic Engagement and Outreach Community Service Program reminds GFWC members that each of us is a part of a larger society and is responsible for undertaking actions that will create a better quality of life and foster a sense of community - locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. This CSP highlight and encourages citizenship; crime prevention, safety, and disaster preparedness; the needy, hungry, and homeless; and our military personnel and veterans.

Our Public Issues collaboration projects have included:
  • Donating to Quarters for Quarters to house a veteran
  • Sending school packs to soldiers in Iraq to distribute to children there, Operation Iraqi Children
  • Sending items on a platoon in Iraq's wish list for the holidays
  • Donating teddy bears for Taunton's Emergency Management Agency to be distributed to children with family emergencies along with 17 Jump Bags containing a teddy bear, children's book and blanket.
  • At Christmas members wrote and mailed cards to Holiday Mail for Heroes. The cards were given to veterans and soldiers around the world.
  • Members sent 60 bags containing wipes, chapstick, and batteries to a troop in Afghanistan.
  • The club currently has bins in the Taunton Public Library to collect items for the Marine Corps League to send to our troops.
