The Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Foundation, Inc. was founded by the West Virginia Federation of Women's Clubs. We thank them for their support over the years.

What is the GFWC?

Our Mission
The General Federation of Women’s Clubs is an international women’s organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service.

Our Purpose
We advocate because there is a need; we volunteer because we are needed.

Our Motto: Unity in Diversity

GFWC club members are the heart of not only the Federation, but the communities in which they live and work. By Living the Volunteer Spirit, GFWC members transform lives each day, not simply with monetary donations, but with hands-on tangible projects that provide immediate impact. With a grassroots approach that often thinks locally but impacts globally, GFWC, its clubs and members remain committed to serving as a force for global good, as it has done since its formation.

With more than 60,000 members in affiliated clubs in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and more than a dozen countries, GFWC members work in their communities to support the arts, preserve natural resources, advance education, promote healthy lifestyles, and encourage civic involvement.

Marlinton Women’s Club is proud to be part of the GFWC!
