Philanthropy

GFWC Paskack Junior Women's Club is dedicated to bettering the community through service efforts and philanthropy. For over 80 years our club has donated thousands of dollars to local non-profits and organizations in need.

Each year we coordinate the creation and delivery of valentine cards for senior citizens. In 2020 we lead a massive community wide effort to collect valentine cards for not only senior citizens, but also first responders, essential workers and medical workers. In all, 3,000 valentine cards were collected and distributed all over the Pascack Valley!

Community wide drive to fill backpacks with new school supplies. Backpacks were given to CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) who then distributed them to children in foster care.
