Bullet Point News recently sat down with Heather Rogers, the founder of 100 Women Who Care – Stouffville, and her daughter Estelle.
The group meets quarterly, and members nominate charities for consideration. Members then vote to select the next organization they will support, and each member donates $100.
“We are trying to support organizations that are either in Stouffville…or have a direct an impact on the residents of Stouffville,” Heather Rogers told us.
The format gives busy community members a convenient opportunity to give locally, and the group has donated nearly $230,000 to local charities since 2014.
Estelle does her own fundraising, recently selling cookies to help support the Whitchurch Stouffville Food Bank.
“I like helping out and seeing how it makes a difference in the world,” Estelle proclaimed.
Heather and Estelle also volunteer at Care and Share, and they both love doing whatever they can to make a positive impact in their community.
“Stouffville is a pretty special place, with pretty special people and pretty special organizations,” Heather said. “I hope that we can inspire other women in our community to give back.”
Residents can learn more about the group and register to participate here.
