Our Mission
Members of the San Clemente Woman’s Club work constructively and harmoniously for the promotion of civic, philanthropic, cultural, and educational interests, as well as the general advancement of the San Clemente community.
Established in 1931
The San Clemente Woman's Club is one of the oldest charitable organizations in San Clemente. It started with a group of women providing meat for a soup kitchen in 1931. It evolved into a non-profit 501(c)(3) service organization as part of the General Federation of Women's Clubs.
The San Clemente Woman's Club holds monthly meetings and is open to all women in San Clemente and the surrounding areas. Our philanthropic projects are evident throughout San Clemente including the city’s new Emergency Response Electric Bike equipped with life-saving medical supplies and equipment for use by city lifeguards, new computers donated to the Boys and Girls Club after school computer lab, and the beautiful stained glass windows in our downtown library. We are extremely proud of the contributions the club has made while working together in friendship and philanthropy.
