Patriot Paws
At every PRW meeting donations are accepted for Patriot Paws.
The mission of Patriot Paws is to train and provide service dogs of the highest quality at no cost to disabled American veterans and others with mobile disabilities.
In March 2021, Plano Republican Women invited Patriot Paws to the March General Meeting. President Jennifer Groysman presented a check to the organization to help them continue their valuable mission of assisting disabled American veterans.

Brown Bag Project
In October, November and December of 2021, Plano Republican Women
held a school supply drive, aka the Brown Bag Project. Supplies were donated to a PISD, Title 1, elementary school. Title 1 schools are those with a high “percentage of students receiving free or reduced cost meals and students that have demonstrates\d a need for services.” “…Students generally receive (supplementary) instruction in small groups often or less by a highly qualified teacher. PISD states a strong component of Title 1 schools is that “Each campus works with families to support student success…”

Plano Christmas Cops
Christmas Cops is a program operated by Plano Police employees to assist Plano families in need during the Christmas Season and throughout the year.
Collection boxes are placed at numerous local businesses, fire stations, libraries, and city facilities to collect toys, food, new coats, and miscellaneous household items. Shortly before Christmas (or when a need arises), Plano Officers and Santa's Helpers make deliveries to these families.
To participate bring a new unwrapped toy - or toys - to the designated PRW meetings.
Operation Cards For Troops
At PRW meetings, we have collected Christmas Cards, Fourth of July Cards and Valentine Cards to send to troops serving in Sinai, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, as well as veterans in homes and hospitals.
Throughout the year, we will continue to collect cards to send to troops who are serving our country and are unable to celebrate at home with their loved ones.
