What is a Chapter
“DFW’s strength lies in the synergy that’s created when friends gather to connect, to learn and to give, and when this powerful model is replicated over and over in our chapters in communities all over the world.” - Marsha Wallace
A DFW Chapter is group of people that:
* Meet at least four times a year in a wide variety of formats (the format may vary from that of other DFW groups), i.e., lunch meetings, dinner meetings, getting together for coffee, or via workplace, high school, church, service, campus, or other chapters.
* Learn about the most urgent issues affecting women and girls living in extreme poverty worldwide, including illiteracy, health care, sex trafficking, water and food security, education, human rights, economic self-sufficiency, and many other challenges.
* Donate to the DFW-designated monthly organizations that address these urgent issues, knowing our collaborative gifts make more of an impact than our individual gifts. Eighty-five percent of all contributions go directly to our selected international programs, with 15 percent allocated to DFW.
Our international chapter applications are temporarily on-hold as we research the legal requirements for the growing demand to expand globally.
DFW is easy, powerful, and fun!

How often do chapters meet?
Many of our chapters meet monthly. Others choose to meet at least four times a year, which is required.
If you choose not to join or form an official DFW chapter, you can still support Dining for Women and its important mission by becoming a “Dining for Women Friend.”
Our DFW Friends come together for special events or on birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. and raise money and awareness to support our cause.
