Help Us Spark Joy for Local Children This Holiday Season

The Holidays remind us how good it feels to give — to share joy, hope, and kindness with others. Yet we also know how quickly the season fills with busy schedules and endless to-dos.

That’s why the Woman’s Club is starting early this year — joining forces with the Laguna Beach Firefighters’ Spark of Love Toy Drive to make sure local children experience the magic of the season. Throughout the month of November we will be collecting toys.

To lead by example, the Woman’s Club will be purchasing over 50 new toys — and we invite you to join us in this meaningful act of giving.

Drop-Off at the Clubhouse:

Any November Event
Monday evenings after 5:00 PM

Your thoughtful gift will be presented to our Laguna Beach Firefighters during our Holiday Luncheon on December 12th.

Whether you donate supplies, or lend a helping hand, your participation makes a difference. Together, we can help every child start the school year equipped for success.

Changing Lives Through Education

We make a lasting difference in our community

We are honored to award scholarships to two exceptional Laguna Beach High School seniors who will become the first in their families to attend college. We are proud to recognize their determination and help support their journey toward a brighter future.

These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of our members. Every donation helps create opportunities that can change the course of a young person's life.
