The club is comprised of several different committees which are responsible for choosing their projects on an annual basis. Some of the committees are:

** Project Shoes **

This is our signature project that was adopted by the General Federation of Woman's Clubs, as well as BJWC in 1993. We provide shoes and socks to needy children in the local school system and community. THe recipients of the shoes are selected based upon recommendations from the social workers and other school staff.

Please allow us 5 - 7 days to purchase the shoes. Once the shoes have been purchased, arrangements for pick up that have been specified on the request form will be followed. It will be up to your agency staff to deliever the shoes to the child or child't family. For the confidentiality of those involved, we do not deal directly with the families themselves.

We want to be certain that the recommendations made are for those children truely in need of our help. We will not require proof of the famiy's income or need. We will act solely upon your good judgment.
