2026 Donation Day

Donation Day is a special day for The Woman’s Club of Vista.  It’s a celebration of the culmination of a year’s work of philanthropy, where donations and scholarships are awarded to deserving students and nonprofits in Vista, CA. Representatives from the nonprofits, students earning scholarships and their advisors, WCV members, and guests attend this event.

Each recipient has a chance to introduce themselves and let club members know how their donation or scholarship will be spent. Donation checks are presented by the Presidents and Treasurer to each recipient.

Earlier in the year, WCV members nominated a 501(c)(3) organization in North San Diego County, with priority is given to organizations that provide meals, shelter and clothing for the needy, disadvantaged or homeless. Funds are also available for field trips, books, animals, and community, education, and recreation.  Board approval determined the final list of donation recipients.  Scholarships were determined first by selecting eligible Vista schools; then, nominations were made solely by school counselors. The Scholarship Committee guides participants through this process.

Donation Day is truly one of the most rewarding days for WCV members. There is no cost to attend this event, which is held at Alta Vista Botanical Gardens. There is no lunch meeting in May due to this event, and regular lunch meetings will resume in June. Please use the blue button to RSVP your attendance yes or no.
