Community projects we are working on.
We have listed here some of the many community service projects we are currently focused on. Each year we consider adding or changing projects. Let us know if you have a favorite community project. We would love to consider it!
Our Focus, Our Passion.
COMMUNITY GARAGE SALE
The Montville Township, Women's Club, holds a town-wide garage sale each year in the first week of June. A town map is available, which lists the address of each garage sale so you can drive around and check them off one at a time. If you live in town, don't miss this opportunity to buy your permit and clean out items you no longer need. If you are a shopper, don't miss this fun day full of great deals!
Annual Blood Drive
On the last Sunday of January each year, the MTWC hosts a blood drive at the Montville Senior Center on Main Road. We strive to collect enough pints of blood for the local area in this life-saving effort.
efforts on behalf of our Veterans
MTWC provides support to active military and homeless veterans. We support a variety of projects for veterans within transitional facilities. In addition we compile holiday stockings for service men & women yearly.
road cleanup
The Women's Club joins other Community groups in providing road clean-up services to improve the local environment for town properties. MTWC Members engage in four yearly clean-ups with equipment the Town provides for clean-up. Our first clean-up is coordinated with Earth Day in April.
EDUCATION AWARDS
The Women's Club offers awards to Montville Township High School students each year. Candidates for these awards provide a written explanation of their plans for further education and career goals. A committee of club members reviews the entries and determines which two entries qualify for these awards in June of each year.
Kiwanis Food pantry
We have been collecting food for the Montville Kiwanis Food Pantry for many years. In the past, we have collected from our members, friends, and the community approximately 500 pounds of food each year.
Other projects we are working on
Throughout the year, we focus on a wide variety of community activities. We have listed some of them below.
ROAD CLEANUP DAY
4 times a year, we gather to clean up debris that collects on our roadways. Members come together to participate in this fun event!
COMFORT PILLOWS
Our members collect needed supplies, assemble the pillows and distribute them to local hospitals for women recovering from breast cancer surgery.
SOLES4SOULS
Used or new shoes are sent to those in need - providing relief, creating jobs, and assisting and lifting people out of poverty.
