MDWC Members May 23_edited_edited.jpg
The beginning of the GFWC Mount Dora Woman's Club originated in 1919 when a notice was placed in the Mount Dora Topic inviting all women interested in civic affairs to meet at the Town Hall.  Fifteen women responded and began all the good work of the local community.  In 1926, the Club became a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs.

Today, we are a group of over 50 women from Mount Dora, and its surrounding towns.  All of our clubwomen are united in their dedication to volunteer service.  Diverse in age, interests, and experiences, we all share the desire to create positive change in our local communities.

What We Do

Our individual and group volunteer activities have five Community Service Programs

GFWC Mount Dora Woman's Club, Inc. and its members are devoted to community service in the Central Lake County area.  Each member has an individual volunteer passion (and sometimes several).  Our members are active and involved at the Bay Street and Ice House Theatres, the W.T. Bland Library, Cornerstone Hospice, Guardian ad Litem services, local food pantries, and homeless shelters, to name just a few.  Together they organize events to raise funds for donations to local charities.
