What We Do

Community Building

Bunny Breakfast

​The Bunny Breakfast is designed to bring the community together for some fun!  Each year HWC invites local families for  a bit of breakfast, meet a friendly bunny, and have an eggs-cellent time! 

Valentine's Day Tea

HWC members assist the Hingham Senior Center in hosting a Valentine's Day tea where crafts created by local children as well as cookies baked by our members are distributed. Spreading some much needed love during the cold winter months! 

Senior Thanksgiving Luncheon

HWC members volunteer to cook and serve a Thanksgiving luncheon for the elderly members of our Hingham community at the Senior Center.  For many seniors in Hingham, this may be their only Thanksgiving meal.

Charitable Giving & Fundraising

Kids that Care

Throughout the year, HWC organizes several events to teach our children about giving back, from cleaning up World's End park to spending quality time with Hingham's seniors!

Business & Networking Events

HWC members organize valuable knowledge-share networking sessions including how to better brand your business, tips for social media or just meeting working women and learning more about what they do. These sessions are also great for women looking to get back into the work force.

Sponsoring Holiday Events & Gift Giving

We all could use a little help from our friends from time to time.  Each holiday season HWC organizes gifts for families living in shelters, a luncheon for homeless families with children, and more...

Festival of Trees

Festival of Trees (FoT) is the annual holiday event hosted by the HWC at the Hingham Community Center during Christmas in the Square.  Over 30 beautifully decorated trees and dozens of raffles, made up of donations by individuals, groups, and businesses, will be on display to the public and available for silent auction and raffle. Funds raised support Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore. 

Spring Fundraiser

Our Spring Fundraiser brings community vendors, local businesses and individuals together to donate their time, money, products and services to this event.  We're proud to have raised money to empowerHer for the last two years. 
​ 

Scholarships

Each year, the HWC awards three $2000 scholarships to high school seniors residing in Hingham. A committee of HWC members meet and choose the winners.  
​
Both scholarships are funded by our Festival of Trees event.
