****This year's Festival of Trees, #39, will be FRIDAY November 21, 2025****
Things are a little different this year...
Because we want to keep our wonderful supporters safe during the COVID-19 era, we cancelled our annual indoor luncheon and fashion show. Instead we are reaching out to you to consider a donation to the Orinda Woman's Club or a purchase at our online Marketplace and Silent Auction, in support of our beneficiaries.
Who we are
Orinda Woman’s Club, (OWC) through our Community Service Committee, donates to agencies in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties who are seeking help with specific services and projects. We also provide individual educational grants to students who have demonstrated their commitment to acquire further knowledge and training.
An Example of Local Charities the OWC Supports
Childhood Mental Health Services for preschoolers, in Richmond, California, provides counseling to parents, and models coping strategies for child rearing. This agency is counseling by Zoom and is delivering care packages of food and art work. Here is a photograph of some of the older kids - with backpacks provided by OWC - ready for Kindergarten, full of material, just like kids from regular homes. These children and parents were delighted and uplifted with this sense of normalcy.
