The Woman’s Club of Rye’s (WCR) primary goal is to foster interest in and promote charitable activities in the community. All of the philanthropic projects undertaken by the WCR fall under the responsibility of the Committee for Philanthropy and the Committee for Children’s Philanthropy. Through the members' strong connection with the community, these two committees research, develop and present new philanthropic projects to benefit children, women, elderly and others in need in the community.
