We asked the RWC membership to bring specific items for the project to the
September 7th luncheon and you all answered the call!
The Community Service Committee met on Monday, September 11, 2023
and filled 118 snack bags in record time.
This was a total of 129 lbs of snacks!
We also delivered all the extra snacks and food to the pantry,
bringing our total to 365 lbs. of food, and $295 in checks were also given to the pantry.
Special thanks to Heather Cohen for organizing this drive and Beth Mangone, Joanne Burger, Donna Maynard, and Janet McGrath for sorting all the snacks we collected at the RWC luncheon on September 7th. Without their help, we would have spent a few more hours sorting all the snacks collected.
We appreciate their efforts and continued support.
This could not have been accomplished without the many volunteers
who showed up for the meeting.
Many thanks!

What we do makes a difference to so many. Boxes of Basics was one of two charities the RWC supported in the 2019-2020 season. Thanks to your generosity and support we were able to present a $4000 check to them in August.
We received the following heartfelt thank you from the Boxes of Basics Executive Director.
“Dear Leaders and Members of Regency Women’s Club,
Thank you for deciding to support Boxes of Basics with a $4000 donation made on August 17, 2020. What an amazing gift. I am overwhelmed by your generosity!
Since our launch in September 2018 and have blessed over 400 children with their very own Box of Basics. The feedback we receive from recipients is overwhelming, these boxes are changing the lives of local children in need. Because of the support we receive from donors like you we are able ti impact these children by giving them the gift of a seasonal wardrobe! Here is one example of how these boxes are impacting the lives of local kids. The quote below is from a school social worker.
'I just received a call from a parent that received a box from your organization. The mom was so completely moved by your kindness and generosity. She shared that her son was not feeling confident about coming to school prior to receiving his Box of Basics because his clothes were worn and small. Today, the child woke up 30 minutes early today to pick out his outfit. I had a change to stop by to see him this afternoon and he was so excited to show me his new shoes. I cannot say thank you enough for all that you do. The children are not just receiving clothing but love and confidence. Thank you again, I am so grateful.'
I am profoundly grateful for your decision to support Boxes of Basics. Over the past year I have loved getting to know many of your members. We have spent hours sorting clothing, packing Boxes of Basics and chatting! The time your members have donated is invaluable and I have made so many new friends in the Regency Women’s Club. I am thankful for each and everyone of the amazing women I have met through your organization!
Thank you for believing the mission of Boxes of Basics and for making it a priority to help those in need.
Warm regards,
