Friends of Historic Detroit Association of Women's Clubs

Friends of Historic Detroit Association of Women's Clubs Established to raise funds needed to preserve and maintain the Detroit Assoc. of Women’s Clubs, Inc. The association was incorporated in 1941.

Detroit Association of Colored Women's Clubs was organized on April 8, 1921, with eight clubs. This association reached its peak membership in 1945 with 73 clubs and 3,000 members. Affiliated with the Michigan and National Associations of Colored Women's Clubs, the Detroit association fosters educational, philanthropic and social programs. That same year, supported by a mortgage on its president's

home, the association purchased the present clubhouse, a handsome Colonial Revival style structure. The club members completely paid for the clubhouse in less than five years. The association sponsors girls' clubs, scholarships, annual clothing drives for needy school children and charitable programs for seniors and the dispossessed. Its motto is "Lifting as We Climb."

It is always an honor to serve our community, and we are grateful for our partnership with the Detroit Area Agency on Aging, which spans over 25 years. Without their support, many older adults in our community would not have access to warm meals, especially during the holidays. We are happy to provide these meals with a warm heart and appreciate the opportunity to do so.
We look forward to seeing you all bright and early on Christmas morning. To sign up as a volunteer, visit https://www.detroitseniorsolution.org/how-to-give/volunteer/ and complete the form at the bottom of the page.

Mary Church Terrell (1863-1954) worked as an activist alongside the likes of Ida B. Wells to bring suffrage and civil rights to Black American women. She saw the right to vote as a catalyst for elevating Black women. Her words-"Lifting as we climb"-became the motto of the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), the group she helped found in 1896. She was NACW president from 1896 to 1901.
Today, we honor Mary Eliza Church Terrell on her birthday for her passion, drive and victories during the civil rights movement.

We are indebted to nurses for their unwavering commitment to patients, their communities, and our healthcare system. This year’s nurses month theme, “You Make A Difference,” was selected to encourage nurses, other healthcare professionals, employers, community leaders, and the public to recognize and promote the vast contributions and positive impact of America’s nurses. This month we celebrate you. Thank you for all you do.
