The Chatham-Kent chapter of 100+ Women Who Care continues to give back to the community.

The organization has presented the Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation with a cheque for $12,000, proceeds from the club’s virtual meeting in August.

100 Women Who Care CK meet quarterly and, at each meeting, three local charities in financial need are presented by members. One is then selected by majority vote to receive more than $10,000.00.  Each member of 100 Women Who Care commits to making a $100.00 contribution to the selected charity, which results in a large impact donation in the community.  100% of each member’s donation goes to the selected charity and assists programs in Chatham-Kent.

“Overwhelmed with the thoughtfulness of 100 Women Who Care, especially during these uncertain times,” says Hospice Foundation Executive Director Jodi Maroney. “Our Hospice families have no choice but to deal with end-of-life and the pandemic. This means a lot to me and our Hospice families that call Hospice ‘Home’. Thank you!”

Since August 2016, 100 Women Who Care Chatham-Kent has donated more than $180,000.00 across 16 local charities and the May 16th Miracle.
