GFWC PROGRAM ENVIRONMENT

The GFWC Environment Community Service Program encourages us to become stewards of the earth by working to preserve the world’s resources, protect wildlife and domesticated animals, live sustainably, and beautify our communities and enjoy nature.

Creating an interest in conservation among our youth is vital as well. Activities in this Community Service program area are designed to increase awareness of important issues for America’s natural resources, preserving our national parks and observing days that commemorate conservation activities. Water and air quality, pollution, loss of habitat for animals, and preserving and improving the appearance and healthful conditions and beautification of our own communities are critical matters.

WE RECYCLE! – SEE OUR RECYCLING PROGRAM PAGE!

All of our members recycle cans, bottles and plastic at both Club events and meetings, as well as our own households on a daily basis. Our Club also collected wine bottles for a District event, egg cartons for Bailey Care Center, towels & blankets for animal shelters, manufacturer coupons for Military, greeting cards for St. Jude’s, toiletries for DVAC and battered women’s shelters, retired eyeglasses for Lion’s Club, disposal of used batteries, yarn for supplying chemo caps, cancelled postage stamps for TUBFRIM.
