Feb 7, 2019 | 10:29 AM

Around 110 women came together Monday at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club to support local charities.

100+ Women Who Care meets four times a year to donate money to charities that are nominated. They vote on which charity to support and typically raise over $15,000 at each meeting. 

This past Monday saw The Mustard Seed gain the most votes to receive $19,000 this time around.

Scott Tilbury with The Mustard Seed talked about the impact a donation like this does for them.

“The money will help us lower the overall cost to providing school lunches. We provided 55,000 lunches to children in 30 different schools last year. It will help us to purchase fruit, which is very expensive, milk which will be in addition to what we provide and school lunch kits to children.”
