Marshall, IL -(Effingham Radio)- On April 23, 2020 the group 100 Women Who Care Marshall, Illinois met via Zoom. 100 Women Who Care is a group that of women who care deeply about their community. A 100 WWC group gathers 4 times a year for a one-hour meeting and each member writes a $100 check to the charity that the group selects. This combined donation makes a real impact, without time consuming fundraising events and planning. The mission and hope of 100 WWC is to provide for those in greatest need in the local community.
During the unprecedented times, the group wanted to spread the love and donate over $1000 to the following organizations: Summer Lunch Program, Marshall Food and Clothing Bank and the City of Marshall.
Summer Lunch Inc. is a not for profit organization that helps provide food to low income children in the Marshall area during the summer. We have been providing breakfast, lunch, and snacks since 2012. They also give fresh fruit, juice, and a milk voucher to each family every week. Volunteers pack and deliver the bags. This summer we have helped 83 Marshall area children. Donations can be sent to: Summer Lunch Program, 15371 E. Clarksville Rd.
The Marshall Food Disbursement Center (Food Pantry) and the Ministerial Alliance Clothing Shop (Clothing Pantry) are dedicated to supporting Clark Counties poor and working poor with both food and clothing. The food pantry provides no cost emergency food support to families who qualify under the Federal USDA guidelines for income and residency. Additionally, the center provides emergency support to the homeless, fire & flood victims, transients & highway breakdowns when needed and as requested by the Marshall Police Department. The center is a 501-c-3 charity and is operated 100% by volunteers i.e. no salaries are paid by the center. Donations can be sent to PO Box 410, Marshall, IL 62441.
