A Greater Saint John grassroots organization that donates money to charities has reached a major financial milestone.
The 100 Women Who Care of Greater Saint John has officially surpassed the half-a-million dollar mark with its latest event where the West Side Food Bank received a cheque for $23,000.
Founder of the group Debbie Rathwell tells CHSJ News passing $500,000 only motivates her more.
“Over the last five years [we’ve] contributed $100,000 a year. It just makes me want to do it more. I want to get to a million in less than five years,” says Rathwell.
“And that means growing our membership, I mean, my goodness, we’ve been just so blessed with committed women, we’ve never been less than 225. The organization is called 100 Women Who Care, so I’d say we’re unstoppable.”
