Welfare Work & Great Depression

Posted

September 17, 2026

There's no fooling you! We all know these women did a lot for our community!

When the Great Depression gripped the nation, communities relied on neighbors helping neighbors. Women’s clubs often stepped forward to organize relief efforts, finding practical ways to provide food, clothing, and stability for struggling families. In Marion, club women became part of this grassroots network of care, turning compassion and cooperation into real support for their community during difficult times.

OUR MISSION: Empowering women and enriching the community, while preserving the historic home and promoting the Club’s legacy.
