Established in 1995, the Greensboro Guild is a group of volunteers who commit their time and talents to raising awareness and fundraising for Family Service of the Piedmont. Through their efforts, hundreds of thousands of dollars are raised each year to promote the welfare of families and children in Greensboro.
The Guild’s signature events are the Bon Temps Ball (new in 2025!), Greensboro Oyster Roast and Holiday Happening. General membership meetings are held throughout the year, with a Fall Kick-Off in September and a Year End Celebration in May.
Members also support Family Service of the Piedmont year-round through their Bundles of Giving program, which allows support to multiple fundraisers with a single pledge.
We welcome new members any time of year. If you’d like to meet with a Guild leader before joining, please contact one of our co-presidents.
