The Woman’s Club of White Plains
would like to thank all the frontline workers who are
keeping our community going during the COVID 19 crisis.

The Woman’s Club of White Plains, like so many other businesses in our community, has been shut down since mid-March. Throughout its history, however, the Woman’s Club of White Plains has supported the community during times of national crisis and the COVID 19 pandemic is no different.
Hundreds of masks have been made and donated to local hospitals as well as friends and family. The proceeds of some of these endeavors are being donated to local food banks. One member donated N95 masks for nurses in White Plains.
We have baked, cooked and donated lunches to our frontline workers. Health and beauty aids, water and breakfast foods were donated to Doral Arrowwood, being used as a safe haven for healthcare workers. Cars with “Thank You” signs in the window drove to the homes of healthcare workers. Others are helping neighbors, especially the elderly, with shopping and other errands.
Donations have been made to Feeding Westchester, Meals on Wheels and other local charities. One member has been using her business to make bake boxes and has donated the proceeds of the sales to the White Plains Hospital COVID 19 fund. Several thousand dollars have been donated to date.
One of our biggest disappointments due to the shutdown was the cancellation of our Annual Fashion Show and Scholarship Luncheon in April. This is one of our biggest events in which we raise money for scholarships for White Plains High School seniors. Undeterred, we are holding an online fundraiser to support the scholarship fund.
Finally, one of our members is a frontline healthcare worker herself, working full time as a pharmacist at a local hospital.
We are all looking forward to the day when life returns to normal and we can again welcome the community to the Woman’s Club of White Plains. Until then, we will continue to support the you in any way we can.

We are a fellowship of women dedicated to community service for the purpose of enhancing the lives of others as well as our own through volunteerism.
The Woman’s Club of White Plains (WCWP) is proud of its distinguished heritage, diverse and dedicated membership and unwavering commitment to giving back. Over the years, members have provided thousands of volunteer hours and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for a broad range of charities and not-for-profit organizations throughout White Plains and beyond. Hard work, however, is not only what we are about. Numerous cultural, civic and social interests are nurtured here on a regular basis including cooking for local charities, volunteer projects, book clubs, bridge club, author luncheons, evening programs, fashion shows, political forums, art shows, casino parties and formal galas. We respect our tradition but know that women’s lives are different today than when we began over 100 years ago. We’ve made adjustments to the needs, interests and availability of women today. |
