The Federation of Hays County Women Philanthropy

One of the main goals of the FHCW is to give back to the organizations throughout the various communities in Hays County with philanthropic activities. During the year we designate particular meetings for this endeavor. So far we have contributed time and monetary gifts to both Hays Food Bank, Hands of Hope and Dell's Children’s Medical Center.

In April of 2012 the Federation of Hays County Women donated $300 to support the work of Hands of Hope.

Hands of Hope provides women in need with the education, skills and support to be self-sufficient. In a Christian setting, the participants learn academic skills, job readiness, and time and money management to equip them for better employment opportunities. Hands of Hope is sponsored by the First Baptist Church of San Marcos, with support from area churches and individuals. The classes are tuition-free to the students and we are staffed entirely by volunteers.

“The mission of Hands of Hope is close to our hearts,” states current FHCW President, Johnell Huebner, “It’s an organization of women helping women that supports personal growth and development.”

Twice a year the Federation of Hays County Women spends time with a “hands on” volunteer project and participates in other philanthropic activities throughout the year, such as food drives, clothing drives and scholarships.
