Makefield Women’s Association Celebrates 45 Years of Service

The Makefield Women’s Association (MWA) is thrilled to celebrate its 45th anniversary, marking nearly half a century of unwavering commitment to serving the Bucks County community. To honor this milestone, MWA is launching a year-long initiative, “45 Acts of Service,” dedicated to expanding our impact and highlighting the many ways we support those in need.

A Legacy of Service

Founded in 1980, MWA has grown into a diverse and dynamic group of women united by a shared mission: to raise funds and provide essential services to individuals and organizations within our community. Each year, through a thoughtful nominating and voting process, our members select local nonprofits to be our Annual Beneficiaries. We then dedicate our fundraising efforts to supporting these organizations, ensuring they have the resources to continue their invaluable work.

Our Impact

Beyond fundraising, MWA members take an active role in hands-on community service. Some of our ongoing initiatives include:

Annual Beneficiary Support: Each year, we select and raise funds for local nonprofit organizations, helping them further their missions.
Monthly Member Collections: Members bring donations for a designated local cause at each meeting, ensuring consistent support throughout the year.
Caring for Friends: Preparing and delivering meals to individuals facing food insecurity.
Family Service Association’s Homeless Shelter: Organizing events and activities to bring joy and normalcy to children and families in transitional housing.
Adopt-a-Highway: Maintaining a three-mile stretch of Edgewood Road in Lower Makefield, keeping our community clean and beautiful.

These projects are just a glimpse of how MWA continues to make a tangible difference in Bucks County.

45 Acts of Service → Now Completed

To celebrate our 45th anniversary, the Makefield Women’s Association set out on an ambitious mission: to complete 45 Acts of Service throughout the 2025/2026 fundraising year.

Today, we are proud to say… we did it. Over the past year, our members came together to support a wide range of needs across Bucks County and surrounding communities—from addressing food insecurity and supporting local families, to partnering with nonprofits and giving back in meaningful, hands-on ways.

Each Act of Service tells a story of compassion, generosity, and community. Together, they represent not just a milestone year but a powerful reminder of what can happen when women come together with a shared purpose. This campaign not only honored our past—it strengthened our commitment to the future.
