Door County HCE
Door County Association for Home & Community Education (HCE) is a nonprofit educational organization comprised of member clubs throughout the county. Clubs meet on a monthly basis to learn from the educational programs, work on service projects and enhance an individual’s home life.
Membership: Membership is open. Contact a neighboring club or individual membership.
International: Club members collect school supplies to be donated to the Nicaragua Partners of America Project, as well as supplies for the Sewing and Baking Learning Project.
Education: Within the guidelines of UW-Madison Division of Extension, members are provided with educational programs to enhance the quality of life in their homes and community. Past programs included Growing Lavender, Mexican Cooking, tours of interest such as Emergency Services and the Peninsular Agricultural Research Station, trends in new cooking methods, and making pasta. Members also participate in 4-H Project Days as instructors.
Community Service: These are a sample of the programs/projects we do: Brat frys are conducted at a local business to raise funds for community projects; volunteers read at daycare centers through the Wisconsin Bookworms Program and provide the students with books and book bags; club-sponsored mending days, sewing projects support the elderly in nursing homes and hospital and underprivileged women in sister countries; and we make donations to food pantries.
