       For the 50 years of the existence of the Women's Club of New Seabury, PHILANTROPY has been a guiding force.

       We have one major fundraiser event each year in the fall.  In 2018 it was held in November and was called the "We Care" Giving Fair.  Since  2008, WCNS has donated over $173,000 to charities that help feed the community in need.

          Also, an annual scholarship is awarded  each year to  the Mashpee Scholarship Foundation Trust.  Each year the Trust awards a female graduate  from the Mashpee School system who has  been accepted to a college or vocational  program to pursue advanced studies following graduation.

      Other recipients for 2018-19 are:

      Boys and Girls Club of Cape Cod
      St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry
      Mashpee  Council on Aging
​      Falmouth Service Center 

      A Baby Center  

      Please make donations to the WCNS Charitable Trust.

The Women's Club of New Seabury Charitable Trust is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

The mission of the Falmouth Service Center is to ease stress, reduce hunger and improve the quality of life of our neighbors in need.  It works to increase self sufficiency by helping to build networks among clients, neighbors and agencies.

The goal of the food pantry is to supplement the food needs and provide five days of food for families in need.  Upwards of 75 families are served each week all year round.

The Mashpee Council on Aging is an organized commitment by the population of the Town of Mashpee to coordinate or carry out human service, educational, social and recreational services and programs for the betterment and empowerment of the senior community.

It offers on-site food programs for its members, many from families living below the poverty line.  The goal of these programs is to teach good nutrition and healthy eating habits as well as manners.  The club serves approximately 840 youngsters.

This organization supplements critical basic needs that ensure the good health and safety of babies (including formula) in need who live on Cape Cod and the Islands.

It was established in 1998 with the purpose of scholarship assistance to Mashpee residents who have graduated from Mashpee Public Schools, Cape Cod Technical High School or a Massachusetts Charter School, and who plan on pursuing advanced studies following graduation.
