Women making a difference locally
Welcome to the Flamborough-Waterdown Chapter of 100 Women Who Care!
We bring together 100 (or more) women in Flamborough-Waterdown who care about local community causes and who are committed to community service. This chapter was founded in May 2018 by Doris Valade with the help of Lena Aggus, Heather Kane and Meghan Hughes.
We have 4 meetings per year, and each meeting will be for one hour. Each member will bring a check for $100 to each meeting. We will have a presentation from 2-3 local charities, and then a majority vote at the end of the meeting will determine which charity will receive our donations.
Our goal is 100 women = a total donation of $10,000 at each meeting. Together we can make a difference in our community!
Our meeting schedule is as follows:
Wednesday September 15, 2021 - 7:00PM to 8:00PM
Latest news:
We had our June 16th zoom meeting and our members selected Eagles Nest to receive our total donations in the amount of $6,800.00. Eagles Nest provides shelter for women and children during a time of crisis, and also provide counselling and educational programs including mental health support. Through the pandemic, Eagles Nest has also responded with support to a significant number of phone calls from youth and children struggling with depression, self-harm and anxiety. All services are free or at a minimal charge so that they are accessible to everyone. One of their key sources of income (40%) comes from the proceeds from their thrift store in Freelton, “Rescued and Restored”. Unfortunately the covid lockdowns have significantly reduced revenue and so our donations come at a time when they are needed most.
