Our founder, Jane Condon, delivered our REDgen checks and online donations totally over $6,200 to Executive Director of REDgen, Brooke Talbot. This local nonprofit was suggested by member, Blair Holloway.

At the September meeting of 100WWC-MMW, at our virtual meeting, we learned how our funds raised in the last six months have been used. Angela Meyers of the Library Memory Project updated us on how the $10,905 they received because of 100 Women Who Care--MKE Metro West will be used when library programs can once again be open for patients with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Jane Condon presented letters detailing how our donations to the three charities we supported in June—Food Pantry of Waukesha, Tosa Cares, and Hebron House—were used to help those in communities west of Milwaukee affected by the pandemic.
