Members of 100+ Women Who Care Effingham County selected the FISH Christmas Store as the recipient of the $10,700 contribution collected at its first membership meeting of 2017 at the Thelma Keller Convention Center.

The Effingham County FISH Christmas Store provides toys, coats, food, stockings and more for families with limited incomes. Molly Bushue, chair of the Effingham County FISH Christmas Store, represented the FISH Christmas Store at the first membership meeting of 100+ Women Who Care Effingham County.

100+ Women Who Care Effingham County will make two more contributions in 2017. New members may join at any time throughout the year. The amount of money contributed will increase as new members join. Members join the organization annually and sign a commitment to donate $400 per year. The first $100 commitment supports the 100+ Women Who Care Effingham County Endowment, managed by Effingham County Community Foundation, to address future needs of the community. In addition, every member pledges to donate $100 at each of the meetings for that year (whether they attend or not) to be donated to a selected non-profit organization in Effingham County.

The 100+ Women Who Care Effingham County Endowment is a fund of Effingham County Community Foundation, an affiliate of Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation.
