All services provided by enAble focus on helping individuals become as independent as possible and to be a contributing, included member of their community.

Roswell Woman’s Club is an all-volunteer, nonprofit service organization whose common interest is to support the community in areas of educational scholarships and grants, human services, cultural arts, historical preservation and urban improvement. Their dedicated membership accomplishes this through hands-on involvement, volunteerism in the community and monetary contributions through fundraising. Since inception in 1948, Roswell Woman’s Club has raised over $2 million dollars that they have in turn shared with the Roswell community. Roswell Woman’s Club has been a wonderful supporter of enAble of Georgia for many years and we appreciate their dedication to the population enAble serves.
