Welcome

Good Friends of The First State is a women's organization that raises funds annually at our Day of Good Friends luncheon to offer one-time, limited monetary assistance to Delaware women in need.  Our grants provide financial stability for those in crisis.

We strive to be Good Friends to our community and each other

Good Friends of The First State provides financial assistance to women who are on the brink.   We help those struggling to make ends meet by offering a hand up.  We come together annually to open our hearts, raise awareness of local needs, enjoy camaraderie, and focus on giving.​

Impact Statements

Reaching Out_edited_edited.jpg

"The women at Good Friends were a well-oiled machine . . . From the time I submitted the application to the moment I handed that landlord that check, less than 24 hours. That one act of generosity didn’t just unlock a front door. It unlocked a future.” â€‹

- Wilmington area high school counselor requesting aid for one of her students. The student and her family were experiencing homelessness.  

"Your organization is fabulous, goes above and beyond, and [the] mom and I cannot thank you enough . . . It is this one thing that can change your entire trajectory and outlook of life, knowing that there is at least one person that does care, which gives you hope and propels you though that struggle. ”

- Nemours Children's Health, RN Case Manager
