GFWC Metropolitan Community Club of Montgomery Co.

The Metropolitan Community Club of Montgomery County (MCC) welcomes new members who are interested in lending their support to local Montgomery County community services and agencies. We support a number of local charities throughout the year through donations of funds and services (see list below). Our membership consists of women working inside and outside of the home who want to contribute to their community.
Also, MCC offers an array of social and educational activities giving members many opportunities to make new friends as well as enjoy the many art, education, and dining venues offered in our area. Some of our most popular social and educational activities include our book club and local museum exhibits.
Please contact us by email, if interested in attending a meeting or learning more about our club.

Fundraisers

Wreath Sale:
MCC holds a wreath sale annually (during late September until early November) to raise money for the welfare charities designated by the Club. We sell both decorated ($40, includes shipping ) and undecorated ($25) wreaths.

Other Fundraisers:
Due to Covid-19 we will not be holding our annual Gift Show this fall. We will hold a Virtual Gift show with select vendors and are doing several ad hoc fundraisers throughout the year which included sales of the Historic White House and 100th Anniversary of Women's Right to Vote ornaments.
