The second giving event, held in May, 2023 raised over $12,000 for the Walker Area Food Shelf.

   100+ Women Who Care of the Leech Lake Area is a group of women who come together two times a year to support our LOCAL non-profits. The original100 Women Who Care organization was started in November of 2006 by Karen Dunigan of Jackson, Michigan, as a brilliantly simple way to raise money efficiently and quickly for local charities. Since then, Women Who Care chapters have been formed all over North America. These groups collectively have donated well over a million dollars to local based non-profit organizations who are 501(c)(3). Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make a difference in the Leech Lake community. Save the date for October 7, 2024, from 5:00-6:30 p.m. at the Arvig WACC. Sign in begins at 5 p.m. The event will start promptly at 5:30 p.m. and last ONLY one hour!
