COMMUNITY CONNECTION INITIATIVE:
A LITTLE THANKS GOES A LONG WAY 
​

Civic engagement is the process of connecting individuals in society with one another, to share common interests, and work for the common good. www.study.com
GFWC clubs are encouraged to focus efforts on giving thanks and advocating for the essential workers in the community. Essential workers in the community include many fields of work not only medical care providers and first responders, but also the many 911 dispatchers, teachers, civil service employees, farmers, truckers, utility workers, pharmacy providers, bank employees, delivery services, sanitation employees, and military personnel as examples. To be involved is to care about your community and working with others to make it a more positive place to live, work, and socialize.
Ways in which you can advocate for their efforts on behalf of your community:

  • Present a Proclamation for “Essential Workers Week.”
  • Deliver food to their place of business.
  • Distribute care packages the first of every month.
  • Display GFWC “Essential Workers - Keep Our Country Moving Forward” on car windows and mailboxes.
  • Throw a neighborhood or community parade and showcase essential workers of all fields.
  • Highlight an essential worker in your club’s newsletter and partner with local PR to ensure that the community is aware of these individuals.
  • Create signage for your Main Street to highlight the companies and/or individuals who are working to make your community a better place. ​
