Altrusa is a worldwide service association of business, executive, and professional women, united in personal development and fellowship. The International organization has thousands of members, worldwide, and our club, Altrusa International, Inc. of Greenwood, MS, currently consists of twenty-eight wonderful women. The name “Altrusa” is composed of “altr” from the word: “altruism” which means unselfish concern for, or devotion to, the welfare of others; and “usa,” a reference to the United States of America and our pledge of loyalty and patriotism to this great country. Every Altrusan is person of ability, and a recognized leader in her own right. She gives of herself and her talents for the benefit of others in the true spirit of our organization. We believe if you become a member you will find opportunities to further develop your talents and personality through your contribution to Altrusa and through your contacts with fellow Altrusans and with those whom we aim to serve. The responsibilities of membership are many, but the rewards are great. We work hard but there is fun and fellowship, too! We meet twice a month, usually on the second and third Thursdays, at the Crystal Grill at noon. We have monthly dues (right now $34.00 per month) which pays for both lunches, and then toward both International and District Club fees. There are many opportunities for service as we have many committees from which to choose. If you are interest, please contact any of the officers listed below:

We are so excited about our new project at the Ballas Family Community Kitchen. The Kitchen is doing such great things in our community! Did you know every Friday around 30 kids from God’s Helping Hands come for music, a Bible story, and a can of food?!? Our Altrusa members are excited to partner with the Kitchen on the third Friday of every month. Our members are reading a story to the kids, singing with them, and sending them home with a drink & snack. This project is just such a fun way to get to know some of the kids in Greenwood.
