The W.I.S.H. Centre in Chatham is getting a big boost, thanks to the 100 Women Who Care Chatham-Kent.
The group is donating $12,000 to support youth programs, proceeds from its May meeting.
Jamie Ireland, Program Manager of The W.I.S.H. Centre says it’s a huge help.
“This will allow us to restart programs providing children with the social and physical activities safely during COVID, a beginning to restarting all youth programs within our community centre,” Ireland says. “On behalf of W.I.S.H. centre staff and directors, thank you.”
The organization was nominated by 100 Women member Collene Warrener, who says the programs offered at the W.I.S.H. Centre are so important, and cover a broad spectrum of children in the community.
Since its inception in 2016, the 100 Women Who Care group has donated more than $215,000 to 19 charitable programs across Chatham-Kent.
