🌷 MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN COLFAX — JOIN US! 🌷

The Colfax Women’s Club is looking for women who want to give back to our community!

You don’t need a lot of free time. You don’t need special skills. And you don’t have to take on more than you want to.

What we do need are volunteers with a heart for Colfax who are willing to share their time, ideas, friendship, and helping hands. ❤️

Together, we:
🎓 Support a scholarship for a Colfax graduate
🎨 Encourage local students through our art contest
🎄 Help families through Colfax’s Secret Santa program
🌸 Plant and maintain community flower gardens
🎉 Bring fun and friendship to Colfax Senior Living
🎶 Help coordinate Music in the Park, the Farmers Market, food trucks & vendors
❤️ Support projects that make Colfax a better place to live

Come be part of something positive!

Whether you can help once in a while or want to be more involved, there’s a place for you in the Colfax Women’s Club.

🌼 Your time matters. Your ideas matter. YOU can make a difference!

Come to a meeting, meet us, and see what we’re all about!
Monday, August 31 at 6:30 at the Grapevine on Main Street. Come hungry, it's a potluck!

The Colfax Women’s Club
Building friendships. Supporting our community. Making a difference.

🌟This was the first-ever Classics & Chrome in Colfax, and we are beyond grateful to Paul & Linda Cook for their priceless guidance, encouragement, and expertise in helping make this dream become a reality. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

👏A huge round of applause goes to ALL of our amazing vendors who brought their A-game and helped make the market such a success! Special thanks to Vallartacos North America for saving the day (and our hungry bellies!) with delicious authentic Mexican food, and to DinaSeed, LLC for serving up their always-popular egg rolls and so much more!
