Back to School
Back-to-school shopping for the children in our community is really a club favorite during the month of August.
Please consider a contribution as a powerful act that instills hope and provides stability for a child, granting them the chance to thrive. When we supply new clothes, we can genuinely transform a child’s world.

Areas of Impact
ONE IMMENSE DIFFERENCE.
During the mid-1960s, Exchange embraced its national “Areas of Interest”, which heightened attention on the prevailing societal challenges of that era. This framework allowed local clubs to tailor their initiatives to the unique needs of their respective communities.
Click on the topic to learn more about our 4 Areas of Impact—and how you can make a change in your unique way.
Americanism
Promoting pride in the country, respect for the flag, and appreciation of our freedoms are the primary purposes of Exchange’s Americanism programs.
Community Service
Community service is the lifeline of Exchange. Exchange Clubs across the country spend countless hours and dollars improving their communities each year.
Youth Recognition
America’s young people are its most precious resource. This is why, for many years, Exchange has sponsored an impressive selection of activities designed to benefit and encourage our nation’s youth.
Prevention of Child Abuse
Child abuse and neglect hurts more than our children and families, it hurts our entire community. The most immediate victims are children and families. Children suffer physical and emotional injuries, and parents suffer remorse and regret.
