Since 1920, the Portsmouth Women’s City Club has provided fellowship for local women. A beautiful colonial home at 375 Middle Street in Portsmouth serves as the meeting house for the club. The club also offers much needed workforce housing in Portsmouth. The club has 7 beautiful rooms that we rent at below market rates.
The Portsmouth Women’s City Club is an inter-generational services and social club whose members work together to enrich the community.
The Portsmouth Women’s City Club is a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, an International organization founded in 1868, which has a long history of supporting women’s issues including equality, efforts to eliminate violence against women and the support of single moms. The General Federation of Women’s Clubs is dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service. The Portsmouth Women’s City Club continues the tradition of community service throughout the seacoast.
