💛 Congratulations to our Q1 Donation Recipient! 💛

We are so excited to congratulate Carolyn Wiezorek and The Presentation Lantern Center on being selected as the Quarter 1 donation recipient for 100+ Women Who Care Dubuque. Your work is powerful, necessary, and truly life-changing, and we are honored to support the incredible impact you make in our community.

A heartfelt thank you to Paula Connors with the Carnegie-Stout Public Library and Amy Copeland with Live Like Cam for also presenting. Each of you shared such meaningful missions and reminded us just how much good is happening right here in Dubuque.

We also extend a special thank you to Theresa M. Caldwell, Executive Director of the Dubuque Food Pantry, for joining us to share how last quarter’s donation is already making an impact. Hearing how the funds were used to purchase a new storage refrigerator—helping expand their ability to serve our neighbors—was a powerful reminder of what collective giving can accomplish.

This is why we gather. This is why we give. 💛
Thank you to every woman who showed up, listened, voted, and continues to believe in the power of community and generosity.
