Dear Friends of the Women & Family Life Center,


As we bask in the warmth of August, I hope this message finds you enjoying the summer season. This month, I am thrilled to introduce two special fundraising events this month:


Register Round-Up at the Market Place: Throughout August, your small change can make a big difference. By rounding up your purchases at the Market Place in downtown Guilford, you're directly contributing to our cause. Every cent counts, and your spare change can create a significant impact.


Give Back Night at KC's: On August 20th, we invite you to an evening of great food and good company at KC's Restaurant and Pub in Guilford. 20% of your check will be donated to our organization so you can enjoy a delicious meal while supporting a great cause. Bring your friends and family for a night of fun and philanthropy!


As always, thank you for your unwavering commitment to our cause. It is your generosity and belief in our mission that propel us forward. Together, we are creating a brighter future and fostering a community of compassion and support.


Be sure to look out for our Direct Connect newsletter later in the month, which will include information on upcoming fall programs and some new programs!


Wishing you all a wonderful August filled with joy and meaningful moments.


Nothing is impossible,

Jennifer Wenderoth-Holster, MPA

Executive Director
