The GFWC Statesville Woman’s Club is a proud part of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) of North Carolina, an organization dedicated to community improvement through volunteer service, focusing on the betterment of local communities across the country. Our club is united with thousands of others, working together on various projects and programs within five main areas: Arts & Culture, Environment, Education & LIbraries, Civic Outreach & Engagement, and Health & Wellness.
