Welcome to the Female Harmony Society
Inspired by 200 years of service to Delaware’s underserved, especially children, the Female Harmony Society continues to strengthen the greater Wilmington area by supporting families through community partnerships, financial support and educational advocacy.
Established in July 1814, the Female Harmony Society was established as a benevolent society organized by the women of Hanover Street Presbyterian Church “for the purpose of prayer, mutual instruction, and Christian Labor.” The Female Harmony Society oversees the income from a bequest of a former member of the Society, Elizabeth Caulk, who died in 1839. The Society also seeks to preserve the history of the Female Harmony Society and the related history of Hanover Street Presbyterian Church.
