Throughout the year, from time to time, our members also donate specific items needed by charities.  This can take many forms, from filling the holiday wish lists for children at one or more of our charities, to collecting school supplies, clothing items, or baby needs, for example. 

PVWC chooses charities every two years to support.   The next selection will be made in Spring 2026.  Stay tuned for details.  A large, dedicated, fun-loving, and charity-minded committee worked diligently to get and review many noble applications and selected the five for which the Board unanimously agreed.

Betty Griffin Center:  Shelter and services for victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault
