Westford Rotary was awarded $10,000 by the 100 Women Who Care of Greater Westford. The award will support the club’s program plans and activities for 2023-2024 year. 100 Women recognizes four organizations per year, and provides remaining funds to the runners up.The two other applying organizations – Nashoba Neighbors (a senior “village” in the Berlin, Bolton and Lancaster area) and PACH Outreach (food distribution program in Pepperell and Dunstable) - will share the monies collected in excess of the $10,000 and will be eligible for another opportunity to be considered at a future meeting.
Westford Rotary hopes to use some of this award for both Food insecurity and Children in need projects.... with a Food Packaging Project and Building Beds for Kids in need Project .
President Mary Foerster asked the audience to consider that people change people - the heart of our rotary work; and that money is energy. Meaning that the award provides significant resources to effect change.
