BEND, Ore. (KTVZ)– A group of women came together to make a big difference for our local Meals on Wheels program. The group is called 100 Women Who Care. There are actually more than 100 of them. 4 times each year, each member puts up $100 into a collective fund. That fund is then given to a worthy charity. This week they managed to give more than $14,000 to Meals on Wheels. One of the members gave a heartfelt speech about why they should select that particular charity.
Christi Haynes from 100 Women Who Care told KTVZ News “These people, many of them are isolated, and the only people they see are the Meals on Wheels delivery person who brings them food and it lightens and brightens their day when someone who visits them continually comes.”
100 Women Who Care celebrate their 10th anniversary this year. Since its founding in 2014, the group has raised more than $800,000 for Central Oregon nonprofits.
