WGC's Emergency Response Network is Trying to Raise $5,000 to Support Columbia Community Care ... Can You Help?

** UPDATE: We did it, together! Thanks to so many of you who jumped into action yesterday and gave to support CCC. As of this morning, 7/10, we have raised over $5,200. We are leaving this fundraiser open and all donations will go directly to CCC. Thank you!

The Women’s Giving Circle of Howard County quickly raised $2,500 in several hours this morning  to support families in need in Howard County that are being served by Columbia Community Care.

As Erika Strauss Chavarria, Founder of Columbia Community Care said, "when women support one another with true compassion in the fight for justice, and in the spirit of community care and mutual aid, anything and everything is possible."

This is what the ERN is all about. And, to underscore this, a donor has just challenged us to do even more.

She is donating $1,250 and challenging us to match it with another $1,250 through the WGC's Emergency Response Network so we can raise a total of $5,000 to support our friends and neighbors through Columbia Community Care.

Can we collectively raise another $1,250 today?

Any and all donations, regardless of the amount, are appreciated!

​Columbia Community Care is a grassroots mutual aid group that began in March 2020 in response to the growing and dire needs of our community members who are struggling in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. CCC has been providing emergency food and other basic needs items. They are receiving donations but are running out of food and other basic needs items by the end of the day. Donations have been slowing lately and they are in need.
