We are the GFWC Paradise Valley Junior Woman's Club of Arizona and we are part of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The General Federation of Women’s Clubs is one of the world’s largest and oldest nonpartisan, nondenominational, women’s volunteer service organizations. It was founded in 1890 and chartered by the 56th United States Congress in 1901.

The club focuses on projects that benefit their community and the world, while strengthening and building leadership and friendship among its’ members. Club membership is open to all women aged 18 years and older.

Eve's Place Inc. Donations
Signature Program: Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention
Paradise Valley Junior Woman's Club once again showed their generosity for those in need during the holidays. Members shopped and donated financially to purchase items from Eve's Place Needs List. This nonprofit organization provides innovative and empowerment based programs to victims of domestic, sexual and teen dating abuse. They introduced the concept of a mobile advocacy program for victims throughout the Valley, expanded into the rural areas of AZ as well as the Navajo Nation.
As club we donated items that included household products, personal hygiene items, make up, diapers, nonperishable foods, holiday gift wrap and boxes.
