A group of local women is stepping up once again to give back.

The 100+ Women Who Care presented a cheque for $12,725 to Restorative Justice Chatham-Kent.

The money, proceeds from the Women Who Care’s August meeting, is earmarked for the Positive Strides Program, which is a collection of free educational programs for kids and teens across Chatham-Kent.

“These programs are positively impacting the lives of local kids every single day,” says RJCK executive director Cecily Coppola. “This contribution will go a long way in helping support upwards of 170 kids through Positive Strides in the coming year.”

Since August 2016, 100+ Women Who Care Chatham-Kent has donated more than $137,000 across 13 local charities.
