The Service League helps children in a number of ways and through many sources, including the public schools. Many times a teacher or counselor contacts us with a child in need. This need could range from dental care, eyeglasses, clothing, medical care, or help with rent or a utility bill. First and foremost we want to help with the daily needs of a child. The Service League is always ready to help community organizations with child-related services. We also provide a four-year scholarship program with all four High Schools in the county. Through Special Projects we are able to help schools with special needs for their classrooms and give to other organizations that work with children, including Must Ministries, Merismos, Boys and Girls clubs, Cherokee Co. Family Violence Center, Anna Crawford Children’s Center and DFACS.

The work of the Service League is all around you, but what we are noted for is Riverfest.

Although we devote countless hours to planning Riverfest each year, we do it for a greater purpose. We could never help all the children we do without the funds from Riverfest weekend. Other fund-raisers for the League are A Taste of Tradition, our cookbook, and our annual sales of Sally Foster wrapping paper.

As you can see a lot has changed in over 70 years, but some things stay the same. We are 75 women who love children and want to serve them by helping meet their needs. We are the Service League of Cherokee County.
