About Us

Our members

The Benton Woman's Club is a recognized 501c3 charitable women's organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service in our community.

How we got started

The Benton Woman's Club was founded in 1910 and became Federated in 1914.  We are a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC ) and the state chapter known as GFWC Kentucky.  GFWC is the world's largest and oldest nonpartisan, nondenominational women's volunteer service organization - founded in 1890.  The national headquarters office is located in Washington, DC and our state headquarters is located in Frankfort, KY.

What we do

Our club is dedicated to serving the people of Marshall county through volunteer service.  We strive to fulfill all the areas of service as set forth by GFWC while striving to help better the community in which we live.

Areas of Service

Arts and Culture

Civic Engagement and Outreach

Education and Libraries

 The GFWC Arts and Culture Community Service Program encourages members  to promote and support art and cultural programs in their clubs and  communities, and to expand understanding on every level, from local and  regional to national and international. Our goal is to create projects  that include crafts, dance, drama, food, music, and other manifestations  of art and culture that develop skills, awareness, and appreciation. It  is designed to inspire clubwomen and ignite within them a desire to  make the world a more beautiful, thoughtful, and caring place. 

Education and Libraries

Education and Libraries

 We aim to help others, while we also continue to learn. Projects in the  Education and Libraries Community Service Program are designed to foster  schools, as well as other educational institutions and opportunities.  These projects promote libraries, literacy, and the love of a good book.  Through these efforts, we encourage the growth of individuals and  communities at home and around the world.

This Community Service Program highlights and encourages  citizenship; crime prevention, safety, and disaster preparedness; the  needy, hungry, and homeless; and our military personnel and veterans.
