MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY
The Exchange Club of West St. Tammany is about people helping people in the belief that hope for tomorrow happens today. We are about giving back a little of ourselves to our community.
We are about growing within ourselves through our efforts to help others. We are about developing close personal relationships with newly found friends. We come together in order to eliminate child abuse in all forms, to foster the health and growth of a strong family unit, to promote Americanism, to strengthen the education of our children and to give ourselves in service to our community.
Our membership is open to anyone who is willing to accept these goals as their own.

What is Exchange?
Exchange is an all volunteer, national service organization for men and women who want to serve their community, develop leadership skills, and enjoy new friendships. Exchange is made up of nearly 1,000 clubs and 33,000 members throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Exchange is known to millions as America’s Service Club, and with good reason. From our organization’s earliest days, Exchange Clubs have been unselfishly serving their communities and improving the quality of life. The diverse array of Exchange-sponsored programs and projects have made a considerable impact on America thus enhancing the lives of countless men, women, and children across the nation.
HISTORY
The first local Exchange Club was formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1911. Charles A. Berkey is the man who is credited with the founding of this great organization. The second was the Exchange Club of Toledo, Ohio formed in 1913. Subsequently, two others were organized in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Cleveland, Ohio. These four clubs were the first to be chartered by The National Exchange Club after it was organized as a nonprofit, educational organization in 1917. Since then hundreds of clubs have been chartered in the United States and Puerto Rico. The National Exchange Club headquarters is located in Toledo, Ohio.
