Collection Organization

The minutes of the Willing Workers reflect the activities of a religious, charitable, and social organization in Providence Township, Lucas County, Ohio, from 1912 to 1973. The minutes express the group's objective of assistance to anyone who needs it and indicate the variety of fund-raising methods the members have used to accomplish this objective. The minutes also document the religious aspects of the organization's activities, including programs, Bible readings, hymns, and prayer.

In addition, the records reflect the social functions the group served in bringing rural women together and offering them mutual support through illness and death, and celebrating with them childbirth, holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries.
