Bulletin Board
Members have been asking us for other ways to help our grantees. So we've created the Bulletin Board.
Each month we'll post requests from our grantees for much-needed items or calls for a helping hand.
Please contact the organizations directly if you have questions or to arrange drop-off of your donated items. Let them know you're with the Women's Fund. We deeply appreciate your continuing support of our grantees' work which is so vital to our community.
