GFWC Woman’s Club of Ocoee collected school supplies to be donated to S.T.A.R.S. of West Orange, an organization that coordinates community efforts to provide backpacks and schools supplies to local economically disadvantaged students.

The pandemic canceled the club’s 2020 Creative Expressions event, which allows students at Ocoee schools to enter an arts contest and win the gift of a check and school supplies for their school.
