Be Informed!
The Women's Giving Circle makes a large impact on women and girls in our community, no matter the size of the investment...

A single mother was about to be evicted from her apartment. She had lost her job and was without work for two months before finding work. Friends and family assisted as they could, but eventually she fell behind in her rent. A local organization was able to provide her some of the money she needed to avoid eviction. It was not, however, enough. The Women's Giving Circle was able to make up the difference and help this mother and her son keep their apartment. The woman is currently working and is able to keep up with the cost of her rent and other expenses.

 WGC donors are hosting gatherings and inviting friends to learn more about the impact the WGC is having on women and girls. These informal and informative events are a great way to get involved with the WGC and enjoy a fun night with friends!
In early August, WGC Advisory Board members and donors Trent Kittleman, Sue Buswell and Laura Kittleman hosted a wine and cheese party at the Kittleman Family Farm. Attendees enjoyed wine and cheese under the stars and were educated about the WGC and its history, mission and programs, while re-connecting with old friends and making new ones.

On Sunday, October 4th, 8am - noon, the WGC will be hosting a community Yard Sale. 
Given the success of our first year sale venture over the summer, Howard Bank offered to host our second event at their Maple Lawn Branch.
All proceeds of the event will be donated to the WGC. You can support this cause by simply cleaning out your closet!
We are seeking donations of home goods, books, toys, baby equipment, clothing in good condition, jewelry, etc.
If you are interested in making a donation or sponsoring this event, please contact Megan Bruno at meganbru@gmail.com or 443-690-6600.
