Families in need received a helping hand from a group of women.

Following its December meeting, the 100+ Women Who Care Chatham-Kent chose the Chatham Goodfellows as their charity of choice, donating $10,625 towards the organization’s Boot and Shoes program. The program is part of the Goodfellows No Child Without a Christmas campaign, with certificates for new footwear included in toy baskets delivered just before Christmas.

Members of 100 Women Who Care Chatham-Kent meet four times each year to vote on which charitable organization they would like to donate to next. Each member contributes $100 to donation.

Since its inception in 2016, the organization has donated over $330,775 to 27 local organizations and community groups.
