100+ Women Who Care award The Giving Plate $20,500
100+ Women Who Care Central Oregon (100+WWCCO) is a member-based, grass-roots organization of women who meet quarterly to make a difference in Central Oregon though collective $100 donations to the voted upon nonprofit at their meetings.
Their 2019 second quarter combined donations amounted to $20,500 for The Giving Plate, a food bank that feeds the hungry today with compassion and hospitality.
“It so heartwarming to see that our members have raised more than $480,000 for area non-profits since 2014, including our recent donation to The Giving Plate,” says Lisa Connors, founder of 100+WWCCO. “The power of smaller donations combined into one large gift makes a huge impact in our community.”
“We are incredibly grateful to have been chosen by the 100+ Women Who Care group,” says Ranae Staley, executive director for The Giving Plate. “The funding we received will allow us to add a new key employee to our team, which will position us to continue to grow to meet the needs of food-insecurity in Central Oregon.”
