Education and Libraries Community Service Program
We aim to help others, while we also continue to learn. Projects in the Education and Libraries Community Service Program are designed to foster schools, as well as other educational institutions and opportunities. These projects promote libraries, literacy, and the love of a good book. Through these efforts, we encourage the growth of individuals and communities at home and around the world.
Little Libraries
Little Free Library is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes neighborhood book exchanges. The aim is to increase access to books for readers of all ages and backgrounds. The NMBWC plays an active role in this initiative by sponsoring and supporting two Little Free Libraries on 3 rd Ave in NMB. Club members contribute by bringing books to club meetings while the committee ensures these libraries are maintained and restocked regularly. In addition, the NMBWC extends its support to four other Little Free Libraries located at 22 nd Ave, 9 th Ave and the Historical Museum in NMB
Coats for Kids
Five bags of coats and sweat shirts were delivered to Principal Ashley Morrow at North Myrtle Beach High School. These were collected from our members at our October 2024 meeting. Thanks to our members who donated. You will help keep the students warm this winter! Way to go ladies!
Tools for School
Each September, the NMBWC collects school supplies to distribute to local elementary,
middle and high schools in North Myrtle Beach. This initiative aims to assist children
who cannot afford the necessary supplies for school. After the September meeting,
committee members gather to sort and divide the collected supplies before delivering
them to the schools. This effort ensures that all students have the materials they need
for a successful school year.
Scholarship Awards
Each year the North Myrtle Beach Woman’s Club awards North Myrtle Beach High School graduates scholarships to attend the school of their choice. The scholarships are awarded to students who not only excel in their studies, but are involved in many activities at school and in the community.
Bob Hope Reading Program
Members of the Advocacy for Children Committee met Tricia, a USO Volunteer (all the way from Lexington SC) to pick up our donation at Mission BBQ in NMB. Thanks to Kim Allen for her leadership on this initiative! Bob Hope USO allows service members to read a book to their child half way around the globe!
Pinwheel Garden
Several members of the NMB Woman’s Club and local Girl Scouts planted a pinwheel garden at the corner of Robert Edge Parkway & Highway 17 for Advocates for Children month. We hope that you were able to enjoy it as you rode by and thought about how pinwheels are symbolic of the happy childhood all children deserve.
