The Chatham-Kent Chapter of 100 Women Who Care continues to help out local organizations.

The latest recipient is the Friends of the New Animal Shelter, which received a donation of $11,925.

The money will go towards the construction of the new animal shelter, which is set to open later this year.

100+ Women Who Care CK meet four times a year for one hour to pick a local charity in need. Each member then donates $100.

Since the group started back in 2016, it has donated over $110,000 to 11 local charities.

Their next meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 29 at the Retro Suites at 6 p.m. New members are welcome. For more information on the group, CLICK HERE.
