Branchburg Woman's Club (NJSFWC) Helps People in Need
Branchburg Woman's Club offers opportunities to easily help people facing difficult challenges.
The Branchburg Woman's Club (BWC), a member of the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs since 1961, offers a variety of ways to make a difference. Many of its projects aid people struggling with difficulties. Members choose to participate in community and social activities based on interests.
During July, the club collected school supplies for Safe+Sound Somerset, formerly the Resource Center of Somerset. Michelle Lane, BWC Domestic Violence Awareness Chair, headed the project. "I would like to thank the community for their donations to Safe + Sound Somerset. We collected 285 items that included backpacks, notebooks, composition books, binders, pencils and rulers."
