GFWC X-JWC of Cheyenne
X-JWC is a branch of GFWC, (General Federation Women’s). GFWC is International, National, State and local clubs with a common interest to support our community in various ways. X-JWC members formed their club in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1940.
The General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) X-JWC of Cheyenne was organized in 1940. This charitable organization is dedicated to improving our community through hands-on involvement, as well as financial aid. In 2015-16, GFWC X-JWC worked with diverse agencies in Cheyenne: Chamber of Commerce’s Military Affairs, Needs, Inc., and the Boys and Girls Clubs, to name a few. We helped college students meet their goals and reached out to the World Community by supporting NGOs like Operation Smile. We are always searching for women who are interested in making a difference and enjoying some fellowship along the way.
