Start your Christmas shopping early!! 
 
Once again, Braintree Women’s Club is offering a special Braintree Christmas ornament.  This year’s image was sketched by a Braintree High School student.  Show your pride and support a great community volunteer group. 
 
We will be at the Gardener's Guild Holiday Boutique, Sunday, December 3, 10:00 – 3:00 as at Braintree Town Hall.  Price for the ornament is $18 each.  Cash, check and Venmo accepted.


​September 30  -   GFWC NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE.
Many clubs across the country are joining together in their communities to participate by organizing activities that highlight food insecurity.
​
Braintree Women’s Club volunteers purchased items to put brown bag lunches
together for Fr. Bills & Mainspring a homeless shelter and Supportive Services facility in Quincy that serves the south shore of Massachusetts. 45 lunches consisting of sandwich, water, snack, cookies and fruit will be delivered for their distribution.
​Just another way the GFWC and BWC volunteer their service to their communities.

Valentine's Day Bags for residents at the Caritas Holbrook Ave House

​The Holbrook Ave. Caritas House located in our community presently has 19 residents.   
Our club members donated suggested items and our Community Service members
​assembled 19 canvas tote bags containing comforting and helpful winter items
for each of them as a special Valentine treat.  The totes contained fleece throws,
socks/slippers, mugs, b0xes of hot chocolate, microwave popcorn, playing cards, candied conversational hearts and laundry pods.  
We have also donated a bookcase for their common room and are
filling the shelves with book donations from our members. 
We hope these small gestures can help our neighbors feel special.
Please see our November 2022 newsletter for more information
about the Caritas Housing Program.

​​​October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. For the second consecutive year,
the Braintree Women's Club collaborated with the
Braintree Alliance for Safe and Healthy Youth (BASHY) and Braintree students in
collecting donations of necessities for Women's Shelters in the community.
We applaud their good work and were happy to be a part of this program.
