It’s been five years since 100 Women Who Care in Antigonish began, and leaders with the organization are reflected on their successes. Co-Chair Yvonne Landry MacDonald says members have supported a number of groups over that period, with contributions totalling $114,000.
Traditionally, members meet four times a year, and each contribute $100 at each session to a local charity.
As the group enters its sixth year, Landry MacDonald says it’s looking for new members to join them.
Landry MacDonald says aside from donating money to a local charity, members are learning more about what these groups are doing in the local community.
