Ideal candidates will be available for monthly/bimonthly meetings, would be comfortable seeking donors and participants for our amazing events, and enjoy sharing ideas in a team setting.

Our Committee Members work together to create beautiful, memorable events that help us to raise money for the women and children in our community that are facing homelessness. We brainstorm themes, put together incredible raffle baskets and games and reach out to potential donors to provide items for donation. Additional tasks may include decorating, soliciting and picking up donations, volunteering in person at a variety of events, and helping us come up with new ideas for successful fundraising. This is a wonderful opportunity to network with like minded individuals and give back to our community. We treasure every person’s unique talents and strengths. We are teachers, lawyers, engineers, parents and caregivers. Our common thread is using the best of each of us to provide a better life for the women and children who depend on us.
