Moore Republican Women is a non-profit community organization based in Moore County. Their group is the largest in the state of North Carolina with about 230 members.
“We really do a lot of good,” President Pauline Bruno said. “We’re here to bring in speakers and to educate our people.”
The group is comprised of both men and women who are part of the Republican Party. They are currently looking for new members to join and participate in their monthly outreaches.
“We donate to local food banks, buy history books for local school classrooms, donate to Military Missions In Action, to veterans. When we send boxes to troops, we’ll send a movie-night themed box with a movie and popcorn,” Pauline explained.
Moore Republican Women also does work on a community level. They help mothers and their babies in the community.
“They’re just a wonderful bunch of ladies and men,” Pauline said. “They work hard. They never say no. They’re always there to help, always coming up with ideas. That’s what I like about it.”
