Members of Women Who Care (WWC), a project of the Elk County Community Foundation, have the opportunity to qualify each year for the chance to award a special Donor-for-a-Day grant to a nonprofit organization of their choice. Four lucky members were able to award $250 to a favorite organization during this year’s WWC holiday membership drive.

Connie Amendola presented her grant to Bowls of Love at St. Marys Methodist Church; Ann Bauer awarded her grant to the Boys & Girls Club; Molly Gnan awarded a grant to CAPSEA; and Mary Ann Wilhelm awarded $250 to the Christian Food Bank in St. Marys. In total, Women Who Care has given $440,778 to area non-profits since 2010.

Women Who Care brings women from diverse backgrounds together to combine their philanthropic donations and strengthen the Elk County community through the power of collective giving. Approximately 280 women make up the membership of Women Who Care.
