Although the American Women's Club of Korea (AWC) has been around for a while, people may not realize how much work the organization does in the community (we're not just about getting together to drink coffee). You can check the AWC Philanthropy site for a full list, but here are some charities we're helping or have helped in the past (I cribbed the descriptions from the AWC site).
Archdiocesan Pastoral Center for Filipino workers: A full service center which caters to the needs of migrant workers. This center provides food, shelter, medical assistance and government (Korean paperwork, Visa, job search) assistance. Many local organizations look to the APCFMW for guidance and training with their needs.
Friends without Borders Consulting Office: Counseling services for foreign laborers and women married to Koreans who need assistance for a variety of issues including domestic abuse, medical challenges, and psychological problems.
Nanoom House Child Care Facility: Daycare for children in single-parent homes or children being raised by elderly relatives.
New Light Community Shelter: A home for women living with HIV/AIDS.
