Club Overview

The GFWC Junior Woman’s Club of Charlotte was chartered by the North Carolina Federation Clubs (later GFWC of North Carolina) and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) in 1947. GFWC is one of the World's largest and oldest nondenominational, nonpartisan, international volunteer service organization of women. In 2002, GFWC of North Carolina celebrated 100 years of volunteerism.

To support our organization and year round efforts, please visit www.firstgiving.com/charlottejuniors to donate to our Club. In addition to your donations, we promote our annual fundraiser, the Southern Christmas Show Preview Night, as our primary annual fundraising event.  People attend Preview Night to celebrate the wonderful decorations and traditions that make coming home for Christmas a special time for family and friends. Proceeds from ticket sales are shared by our Club and The Charlotte Observer Empty Stocking Fund.  

In keeping with the tradition of the Charlotte Juniors, money raised allows the citizens of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area to benefit by our projects and donations.  Since 1947, Charlotte Juniors have been involved in community improvement projects and supported National and State Federation projects. While we are proud of our past, we look forward to the future as we reach out to those in need in our community. Our history proves that we are able to carry out the tenets of our Junior pledge: "By living each day, trying to accomplish something, not merely to exist."
