We create meaningful connections by offering fun and welcoming events, clubs, and activities that foster friendship, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Through our two annual fundraising efforts—the Holiday Craft Fair and Spring Basket Auction—we raise essential funds to award scholarships and community grants that uplift military families and local nonprofit partners.

 

With a commitment to kindness, service, and growth, FWCSC strives to be a positive force on post and beyond—bridging generations, supporting one another, and making Fort Leonard Wood feel like home.
