GFWC Florida
GFWC Florida Federation Headquarters is located in Lakeland, FL. After being located on Lakeland’s Lake Mirror for 33 years, the new headquarters was built in 1990 on a small business cul-de-sac. The office is a repository of the organization’s archives dating back to its inception in 1895. Furnishings and art objects have been donated by clubs, members and
businesses.
With over 100 years of service to the communities of Florida, GFWC Florida holds a cherished position in the history of the state. See our full history on our History page. Women of Florida have cared for the sick; hugged the lonely; fed the hungry; read to the children; built playgrounds; saved beaches; cleaned up landscapes; planted trees; built libraries; dressed up in costumes; made bears; informed the public of WHALE; learned of health issues; encouraged one another all the while having a great time and feeling good about being of service.
Don't let anyone fool you that members "bake cookies and gossip!" Members really do have fun while achieving an amazing amount of work. Florida communities, like communities throughout the world, are better for the work of women.

GFWC Florida President's Project
Camp Boggy Creek
Since 1996, Camp Boggy Creek has made it possible for children with serious illnesses to enjoy a camp experience in a safe, medically- sound environment. Located just a short drive from Orlando, Florida, the 232-acre Camp serves children ages 7-16 who’ve been diagnosed with a serious illness.
As a year-round retreat, Camp Boggy Creek is able to serve thousands of campers and their families through activity-packed weekly and weekend camp programs.
The Camp offers children the chance to catch their first fish, go horseback riding or climb our ropes tower, all while making new friends. Beyond boundless fun, Camp Boggy Creek provides fellowship.
Children can spend time with others who are just like them and share their life-experiences, which serves as a reminder that they are not alone.
