100 Women Who Care have been at it again – directly donating to help others.
On December 10th, they presented $13,300 to their November, 2021 recipient, WES For Youth Online.
WES for Youth Online provides FREE, safe, secure and confidential online counselling to youth to promote mental and emotional wellness. “It’s OK to have problems, It’s OK to ask for Help.”

The concept of the 100 Women Who Care is simple and direct when it comes to helping others. The women come together four times a year, for one hour and donate $100 each time and, with no opportunity to attend in person, e-transfers are now accepted. All current members in good standing then vote on three randomly selected organizations and one will receive the funds collected.
The group that began in 2013 has continued to grow in numbers and that means the dollar amount of donations has also continued to grow. Among some of the recipients that benefitted are: P.R.A.N.C.E., Tara Food Bank, Special Olympics, Keystone Child, Youth & Family Services, Girl Guides Grey Bruce Units, Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce, Meals on Wheels and many more.
It is a simple, efficient, democratic and direct way of helping organizations within Grey and Bruce. The group’s first meeting of 2022 will be held on April 2nd and, if interested, contact 100 Women Who Care to acquire a meeting link.
