The club provides hands-on opportunity for community volunteers and also assists other worthwhile programs with grants. The funds for community grants come from The Exchange Club of Tacoma's bingo operation at 4001 South Union in Tacoma. Weekly meetings are generally held each Thursday morning at Doyle's Restaurant next to the pro shop at the Allenmore Public Golf Course at 2125 South Cedar. The meetings are lively and enjoyable. There is virtually no ceremony.
Guests are always welcome.
Each year community organizations volunteer to paint houses in disrepair throughout Pierce County. This project helps families in need of furniture for their homes. Jim Ofelt, project creator and chairman, scours the community for donations of furniture and houseware items. Household donations are eagerly accepted. The Exchange Club was the main funding source for the first few years of this organization's operation.
