"Caring For America" Committee

The Republican Federated Women of The Villages have made an ongoing commitment to our nation and to our local community! 


We are hosting very successful food collection drives at local grocery stores. We are also collecting school supplies during June & July for Sumter County public schools.


Contact our Caring for America Chair, Maureen Foertsch, if you'd like to join us!
