The table is covered with an orange tablecloth, and there are decorative items including a white rabbit centerpiece. The room is lit by hanging lamps and adorned with paper lanterns. Women are smiling and appear to be enjoying the gathering.

Join a Meeting

Our Club in Action

We believe in showing up — with hands ready to help and hearts rooted in service. Whether it’s packing food for neighbors in need, raising funds for vital causes, or sharing a laugh at a local event, EAGFWC members are actively making a difference in the Seacoast NH community.

These snapshots capture just a few of the ways we work, connect, and grow together.

If you’re looking for a place to give back, meet great people, and be part of something greater — you’ll fit right in.
