Over a Century of Service in Baker County
Empowering women, enhancing lives, and contributing to our community since 1919.
Mrs. Katie Wolfe
Woman's Club of Macclenny
President 1963 - 1970
The GFWC Woman’s Club of Macclenny is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to community improvement. While our hearts belong right here in Macclenny, we are also proud members of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)—one of the world’s oldest and largest nonpartisan women’s volunteer service organizations.
For over 100 years, our club has united women of all ages, backgrounds, and talents to make a tangible, lasting impact on our neighbors, schools, and local landscape.
Our story began in 1919 as the "Mother’s Club" before formally federating in 1920. In those early days, dues were just $1.00 a year, and meetings moved between local homes and schools. Our historic downtown clubhouse home was built between late 1929 and early 1930 on a centrally located lot generously donated by then-Sheriff Joe Jones and his wife, Alma.
For over a century, our members have shaped the local community. Our legacy includes funding Baker County's very first public library, spearheading early downtown cleanup drives, paving local roads, and providing critical support during wartime. Today, we proudly continue that tradition through student scholarships, local youth mentorship, and regular community care initiatives.
