The NJSFWC is one of the largest and oldest volunteer service organizations for women in the state, and is a member of the General Federation of Women's Club (GFWC). The Bridgewater Woman’s Club (BWC), a 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1976. We are a proud member of the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs (NJSFWC) and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) based in Wash
ington, DC. Through community service and outreach, the club focuses on how to best support families, especially women and children, in the Bridgewater area and in the greater local community. One of the ways in which we do this is to provide scholarships to high school students and to organize fundraisers to support the organizations and charities listed below. Following our monthly meetings, we enjoy monthly programs that are a mix of educational and entertaining topics. After each meeting, those who are interested go out to a different restaurant each month to enjoy lunch together. Above all, we are dedicated to enhancing our community presence and making a tangible difference by supporting worthy local, national, and global initiatives. We welcome new members and the time, energy and fresh perspectives they have to offer. For more information about the Bridgewater Woman’s Club and upcoming events, visit our website www.bridgewaterwomansclub.org or attend a meeting to experience us firsthand. Monthly meetings are held at The PeopleCare Center, 120 Finderne Avenue, Bridgewater, NJ on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Coffee and social time is 9:30 AM followed promptly by the meeting at 10:00 AM with the meeting program to follow. BWC Charitable Organizations
