The Ladies of the Early Evening formerly known as the Ladies of the Night did not take home the trivia prize but we had a blast, many laughs, and raised important funds for the Alzheimer's Association 💜

My little Chili is back! Would love your support for our 9th Annual NEW Coat Drive. I started facilitating this coat drive eight years ago when Gaithersburg Elementary School lost their beloved secretary, Rosa, who had lovingly ensured that every student who needed a winter coat got one. Our goal is to provide 95 new winter coats. If we reach that by our deadline of 10/18. We know where to donate more 🙂

An important, and very fun, part of Charity Connect is maintaining relationships with my contacts at nonprofits so that I am aware of how they are utilizing volunteers. It was so lovely to catch up with Allison Stearns of CaringMatters a wonderful organization providing non-medical hospice and grief support. I recently matched a volunteer to Caring Matters and she is loving being part of the team. Stay tuned to hear more on her volunteer journey.

Remember when Charity Connect led a volunteer group at Red Wiggler Care Farm in May? Wendy Powell loved it so much that she has volunteered weekly since then!

Wendy enjoys working alongside people with varying abilities and backgrounds to nurture a tiny seed to harvested produce that feeds people who may not have the opportunity to obtain fresh vegetables. She finds the work very rewarding and the staff and volunteers to be "super kind; it's an all around great vibe".
