Waycross Service League
Our Objective
The object of this League shall be to foster interest among its members in the social, economic, educational, cultural, and civic conditions of their community and to make efficient their volunteer service.
Annual Events
Waycross Service League has three annual events each league year. These events are fundraisers to help League maintain our charity commitment to the community. Since these events are a big part of funding service, active members are required to attend all annual events.

Service Projects
Funds raised at our annual events help us with Service Projects that give back to the community directly or help another organization with their mission of giving back. The following are some examples of Service Projects we do: Camp Reveille, Pumpkin Fest, Salvation Army Angel Tree Shopping Project, Senior Center Baskets, Miracle League, selling gold bows for childhood cancer awareness, and so many more! There is a service project for every giving heart!
Commitment
Many League members are career women and mothers along with many other life events going on. Don’t let the required hours scare you, we promise it does not take long at all to achieve 30 hours (Provisional Members) or 65 hours (Active Members) spread over 10 months with so many fun opportunities in between. Also, we know life happens and things come up that we do not plan.
