The Woman's Club of White Plains Foundation

The Woman's Club of White Plains Foundation (formed in 2011 as a 501 (c) 3) oversees many yearly projects that help fulfill our Charitable Giving. Club members perform all of our Acts of Kindness projects, integral to our core mission. These projects include but are not limited to, providing Welcome to Your Home kits for those moving out of the Coachman Family Shelter into permanent housing. We also hold an annual Fundraiser to benefit college-bound seniors at White Plains High School. Monthly members come together to make sandwiches for Lifting Up Westchester, we regularly donate to various drives to help veterans.

ACTS OF KINDNESS

ACTS OF KINDNESS ♡

  • “ You have helped turn bare apartments into warm, comfortable, and safe homes!  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping our young adults move from foster care to first homes!”

    Mary Theresa McCombe

    Executive Director, Heart to Homes


  • “We understand the the Woman’s Club Foundation calls their work with the community, Acts of Kindness. Having the “Welcome to Your Home Kits” of cleaning supplies to give to our families as they move to their permanent housing has been wonderful. Now we have “We Care Toiletries Kits” for families in the shelter, this is a win-win for the Coachman Family Center. Truly, both contributions are true “Acts of Kindness”

Giving Tuesday

During this time of giving, let us all remember that The Woman’s Club of White Plains Foundation has donated money to many important causes in our community for over 100 years.

We raise money for college scholarships for young women, we work with local food kitchens to feed the food insecure, we help those who are moving out of shelters into their own home and much more.

Giving Tuesday is December 3rd, but it has become something much bigger than just a day of giving. It’s become a global movement that brings people together from all walks of life to make a difference.

With activity in every country and continent, it’s clear that giving is something everyone can be part of.

Whether you donate $5 or $500, every little bit helps us to continue to make a difference in our community, and we thank you in advance for your contribution.

Helping local families in crisis.

The Woman's Club identified a need of families displaced from their homes by fire, flood or other natural disasters, often with only the clothes on their backs. A laundry bag containing towels for 2-4 persons, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors and other toiletries are packaged and given to families as they arrive at the Coachman Family Center.
