Caring For America
The National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) established the Caring for America program in 1999 to encourage state federations and clubs to actively participate in at least one community service program. Caring for America is based on the belief that problems can be solved most effectively through the generosity and combined energies of individual citizens.
The Cobb County Republican Women's Club, actively engages with several non-profit organizations in Cobb County. In addition, the Club enjoys giving back to our local First Responders and Public Safety Officers during the year with providing “goody baskets” and honoring them at special events.
The Mamie Eisenhower Library Project
The Mamie Eisenhower Library Project (MELP) is the NFRW’s oldest program, celebrating 60 years of book donations from an approved list to schools, libraries, hospitals and other public institutions.
In 1961, the NFRW established the Mamie Eisenhower Library Project as a memorial honoring the former Republican First Lady who served for decades as a military wife and prepared the family home for over 30 moves during President Eisenhower’s military service to our country. Born in Iowa and moving to the South as a child, Mrs. Eisenhower was active in financial decisions in her home and often said that a woman’s independence was based upon her own ability to save money. She practiced fiscal responsibility as a First Lady, often clipping recipes for the White House Chef to prepare using boxed cake mixes as they were cheaper than baking from scratch.
The Mamie Eisenhower Library Project for the Cobb County Republican Women's Club, in part, is funded by the Bette Tempest Fund.
