The first-ever fundraising event from 100+ Women Who Care Moose Jaw is focusing on opening a conversation and raising funds for individuals in the community facing homelessness.
On March 20, 100+ Women Who Care will be hosting a Zoom event at 7 p.m. featuring several presentations and the launch of a new fundraising initiative in the community.
Guest speaker Jody Oakes from Square One Community Inc, a group of non-profit agencies and community members working to address homelessness, will be present to share details about their work to create more programming aimed at individuals who are facing barriers like homelessness.
Meagan Jasper, a member of Square One Community, will also be sharing her lived experience with homelessness.
Nicole Lillico will also take the screen to share information about the future potential of 100+ Women Who Care Moose Jaw and how these gatherings can help the community.
The ultimate goal of the event is to see 100 women, or teams of women, attend and offer a donation of $100, to help raise $10,000 to support the creation of housing and programming for people facing barriers leading to homelessness in Moose Jaw.
Donations are being collected by the United Way Regina, which supports initiatives in Moose Jaw like Square One Community through its COVID-19 Relief Fund.
The purpose of the new 100+ Women Who Care group is to bring together women to talk about important issues in their community and raise funds to support charities and non-profits who can help address those issues.
