Health and Wellness
2023-2024 Co-Chairpersons: Marilyn Martin & Shelly Heijerman
This Community Service Program informs members of issues that affect their well-being AND the health of their communities. Many volunteer projects are coordinated that “make a difference!” Through this C.S.P., clubs promote and develop healthier lifestyles!
Clubwomen take action to eliminate hunger, homelessness and domestic abuse. They distribute warm winter clothing, address the needs of the elderly and disabled, learn about theft prevention and safety practices, and hear about new research in disease prevention and treatments, and mental health practices.
Some of the important topics addressed by this C.S.P. include women’s health, individuals with disabilities (rehabilitation agencies and service dog programs!), positive life skills and healthy food choices. The club also supports housing, personal needs and training for abused women and children.
Thanksgiving Baskets
Club members donate hundreds of grocery items and purchase turkeys to fill sixteen baskets which are delivered to the school districts of Wayland, Delton, Martin and Middleville. Each school determines four families in need and presents the food baskets prior to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Sharing the warmth
We purchase and make homemade hats, gloves, scarves, and mittens, then distribute them throughout the area, donating them to both local schoolchildren or any community member in need of protection from cold Michigan winters.
Hiking
Being in a primarily rural area, our club members participate in many outdoor activities. Members are often invited to join in day-hikes, out-of-door festivals, picnics, and walking or running to raise funds for a worthy cause and maintain their own health as well! Getting outside in this beautiful area is truly a delight to enjoy together whenever possible.
