Renovation of historic Federated Women’s Club Home gets underway with help from Rev. Milton Pace of Saintsville Cathedral Established in 1917, as the City Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs, the Fort Worth Association of Federated Women’s Clubs (FWAFWC) purchased their club home in the late 1940’s with donations of 25 and 50 cents. Located in the Historic Southside, it was the first building bought and owned by black women in our community. The organization has always sought to bring women together to strengthen the community and provide avenues for volunteerism, civic activism, education and cultural enlightenment. As the women of the FWAFWC embark on renovating the club home, we are proud to have Rev. Milton Pace, pastor of Saintsville Cathedral and leader of the famous Pace Family Singers, serve as the capital campaign honorary chair. Rev. Pace has taken his position to heart and secured funding for phase one of the renovation, which began in January. “I was compelled to help this historic organization of African American women because of what the organizers stood for, especially their stand against the lynching of young black men.” Four phases are outlined for the renovation project, and members have once again kicked off the capital campaign initiative with individual pledges and sacrificial giving. Rev. Pace’s leadership in securing the contributions of others, will help ensure that the community commitment of the FWAFWC continues for another century. CLICK HERE to follow Rev. Pace’s lead and donate to the campaign. Please also take a moment to share your special connection to the organization’s rich history. We would love to hear from family and friends of our Founders, past Presidents and other distinguished members. Sign our Guest Book.
