Grade 7 students at Tuc el Nuit Elementary received a donation from the Women of Oliver for Women. This funding will assist to make it possible for all the four Oliver schools’ Grade 7 graduates to attend a 3-day, 2-night camp and participate in life skills exercises and a chance to make friends before they all start high school together.

 

 

WOW was able to sponsor a family of six and donate a Christmas Hamper full of presents and food for the Christmas season.

Women of Oliver for Women Society (WOW) is happy to announce that it has donated $1500 to the Oliver Starfish Backpack Program to provide children with a basic need.  Some children go to school hungry for many unfortunate reasons and also may not have sufficient food over the weekend.  This program will provide the student three meals and snacks per day in a backpack to last the weekend.  Hopefully the children will come to school on Monday feeling better prepared to learn and play as children should.

This beneficial program is organized by Sam Marsel, supported by the Town of Oliver, the Rotary Club and Buy-Low Foods.   WOW’s mission statement is “To enrich the lives of women and children in our community and beyond.”

 

Come when you can, bring an interested friend,  and  join the WOW members at Medici’s every Wednesday at 10:00 am for coffee and socializing.  Everyone is welcome!
