The Women’s Club has been closely associated with almost every aspect of life in the Borough of Glen Ridge. The Club prides itself on responding to the needs of the community and beyond.Community Service projects over the years have been large and small, but there is hardly a local charity or town organization (see list below) that has not benefited from the Club’s influence.
With the Kiwanis Club of Glen Ridge and an amazing group of town sponsors, the Women’s Club continues its bi-weekly town-wide food drive on Sunday, May 9th & 23rd benefiting Toni's Kitchen, Human Needs Food Pantry of Montclair, New Jersey, and St. Theresa’s-Mary’s Pantry.
