VIRTUAL MEETING DETAILS
Thursday, May 6th, 2021
6:00 to 7:00 PM
FUNDS RAISED TO DATE
Camp Collins
Our very first meeting raised $5,500 for YMCA Camp Collins. This allowed them to provide more scholarships than every before to local children in our community.
Trauma Intervention Program NW
Next, after popular vote and hearing an impactful explanation of their mission. We were able to donate $8,500 to TIP NW. TIP is a group of specially trained citizen volunteers who provide emotional aid and practical support and resources to victims of traumatic events and their families in the first few hours following a tragedy. This influx of cash has allowed them to train more volunteers and meet the increased number of neighbors in need of their support.
My Father’s House
120 Women chose to support My Father’s House with $12,000. My Father’s House Community Shelter is a family shelter located in East Multnomah County. They provide a safe environment for 30 families at a time, a place families can stay together as they address their spiritual, physical, emotional, and relational issues and needs.
Boxes of Love
The Boxes of Love initiative partners with local area hospitals to provide babies and children being discharged from the hospital into foster care with a Box of Love. Many of our members were completely unaware of this charity but once they heard all the good deeds they voted to help. In just one hour, the 100+ Women Who Care raised $10,400 to help create more boxes in order to address the overwhelming need.
Serendipity Center
Serendipity is a non-profit therapeutic school serving at-risk students whose complex needs prevent success in other settings. When the Serendipity Center was nominated and the ladies heard how just a few dollars could make a big difference in so many young lives, the wheels were set in motion. In just one hour during the meeting each of the 115 women donated $100 each. These efforts generated $11,500 for the Center and made a huge impact on their ability to serve the at-risk youth struggling in our area.
Our First Virtual Meeting
The steering committee chose Snow Cap Community Charities, Birch Community Services, and Meals of Wheels as our three charities. The Director of each Charity spoke on Zoom sharing their current stuggles and wish list as well as a direct link to donate. It was a challenge tracking donations but those non-profits estimate that we helped them raise $13,617 including using our donations to meet matching grant challenges.
Gresham Barlow Education Foundation
The Gresham-Barlow Education Foundation provides funding to enhance and enrich the educational experience of the students in the Gresham-Barlow School District. The funds donated by the 100+ Women Who Care helped to make the Tomorrow Bus a reality. It is a mobile science and engineering lab in a converted school bus.
The Tomorrow Bus visits elementary and middle schools in the Gresham-Barlow district bringing fun, hands-on science lessons.
Gresham Senior Center
Our local Senior Center won our hearts with
tales of how they provide older adults the opportunity to remain involved and active in their community. Many of their projects directly benefit our community with love and support. The $9500 raised that night was slated to help them purchase a new quilting machine. However, they have now used the funds to stay afloat during the pandemic. They are emensly grateful as they continue to serve the seniors of our community.
$81,017 Raised to Date
Our Sponsor is Leslee Dirk of ERA Freeman & Associates.
We are so thankful and appreciative to our local businesses for all the support they have shown helping to keep our community strong.
Please show our sponsors some LOVE when possible. Thank you!

This combined donation of $10,000 makes a real impact, without time-consuming fundraising events and planning.
