About Us
The Lakewood Women's Club (formerly known as Junior Women's Club of Lakewood) was founded in 1962, with roots going back to the early 1900s. It has provided, and continues to provide, a philanthropic organization for women who are interested in serving their community while enjoying a program geared to fun and friendship. LWC supports Lakewood through these programs: an annual scholarship awarded to a female high school senior pursuing a higher education; and in the past have supported non-profit organizations, selected by the membership, through an application process. Some of them have been The Beck Center, GiGi's Playhouse, Journey of Hope, Lakewood Community Service Center, Live Well Lakewood, Matthew's Lending Library, Meals On Wheels, Trinity Lakewood Community Outreach, and The HUGS Foundation with grants totaling over $250,000 since 1995.
Through our fundraising efforts, highlighted by our annual fall fundraiser- Women Honoring Women, LWC has awarded more than $30,000 in scholarship money to deserving high school seniors as they pursue their education.
