Our mission is to make our community a better place while fostering fun and building lifelong friendships. At the Saint Charles Women's Club (SCWC), we organize several fundraising events throughout the year to support local charitable organizations and families in need within D303.  Additionally, we proudly sponsor the Sherry Costello Scholarship Fund which provides financial assistance to enter a degree program.  Each year, we select two local organizations to partner with.   For the 2025-2026 year, we focus our efforts and resources to help support Rising Lights Project and Random Acts Matter.

To help us further this mission, please consider a donation or joining us at an upcoming meeting. 

Examples of Volunteering include:

• Donating food items and packing sack lunches
• Prepping dinners for Lazarus House guests
• Donating toys and clothes during the Christmas season
• Preparing Easter baskets for local families
• Packing food at Feed My Starving Children & Northern Illinois Food Bank
• Donating items from the Urgent Needs List for Lazarus House
• Participating in our Fall and Spring Fundraisers

​Our annual scholarship application is now open! Do you know a female senior enrolled in a high school within the D303 boundaries OR an adult female living or working within the D303 boundaries and enrolled in a degree program who would like some financial assistance?

Every year, our club gives out two scholarship to qualified candidates. Please download the application and email it to: SCWCApps@gmail.com by April 15th, 2024.
