While COVID-19 continues to challenge Door County, the 100+ Women Who Care of Northern Door County (100+WWC, 100wwcnortherndoor.org) giving circle continues to recognize and reward local nonprofit organizations. The latest recipients were announced during an Oct. 26 virtual meeting.

Adopt A Soldier Care Packages received the main award of $10,000 for local veterans and service personnel. It will be used to provide holiday meals for local Coast Guard members who are not able to be with their families while they’re working in the area.

Open Door Bird Sanctuary and Friends of Peninsula State Park also received awards of approximately $4,500 each from the giving circle.

100+WWC will continue virtually in 2021 and resume in-person gatherings when it’s safe. The Jan. 25, 2021, meeting will be virtual. New members are always welcome.
