Special Projects:
Domestic Violence - GFWC and MFWC President's Special Project
Become aware and learn the facts. Educate members and others about domestic violence and
encourage citizen action to address multiple domestic violence concerns. This can be done in many ways by
researching the resources available in your community. Is there an awareness among
community officials and the community in general? Check with Social Services, law enforcement,
local governments, schools, hospitals and health departments.
Educate your clubs by bringing in speakers, if possible distribute materials. Adopt a shelter,
and raise funds for the residents. There are many creative ways members can get involved!
Wear a purple ribbon.
