3 . Meet Your Volunteer Goals

One of the pillars of 100 Women Who Care is giving back to local nonprofits through volunteering. By joining this group, you have multiple opportunities to connect with organizations throughout the year to help you meet your volunteer goals in 2025. Last year, our members volunteered to pack and distribute diapers for The Diaper Project at the Mission Abbey, to distribute laptops to graduating members of A Step Ahead of West Tennessee's Empowered Teen Council, and to help with setup for the Community Foundation's annual Charity Gala.

No matter how you choose to serve, 100 Women Who Care is centered on empowering you to give back.

4 . Make an Impact

100 Women Who Care is a space for women to make a difference. Your support impacts not only the nonprofits receiving funding but the individuals and families they serve. When you donate to 100 Women Who Care, you contribution is pooled with donations from other members to make a greater impact in our community.
