The charity work of a little-known women’s club goes mostly unsung, but its roots go deep into the history of women in San Diego.
Karen Reed, current president of the San Diego Woman's Club, says, “The wife of the editor of the Union paper at the time started the club.”“She called a bunch of ladies and said we need to have a club, we need to be involved in the community,” says Karen, and that's how the San Diego Woman's Club was born in 1892.
It’s just one of the countless groups the club has helped. They've created gift bags for the kids, renovated the great room and kitchens, and given tens of thousands of dollars in financial donations. “They say we're saving two lives at a time,” says Judy, “to know just how much that is going to change that person's life in such a significant way.”
A few years ago they sold their clubhouse on Third Avenue in Bankers Hill. That money now helps generate more money to give. The rest comes from fundraisers. “It's kind of one of the things that I found out right away is, wow, this is the best kept secret here in San Diego,” says Judy.
