Womenade SLO's launch was a huge success! Thank you so much! Thanks to 51 donors, we met our launch goal of $15,000 in just 6 weeks! We have set a summer goal to raise $5,000 so that we can keep saying YES to meeting urgent needs in the city of San Luis Obispo. In June:

  • TEN referring agents reached out to us on behalf of their clients.

  • 28 households donated so we met every need.

  • Hundreds of dollars in diapers & wipes were donated via Whiz Kid's Diaper Drive.

  • $2,670.38 was given to help SLO residents in crisis.

  • Each need was met within 24 hours.

  • 100% of donations help someone in crisis in the city of SLO

You are amazing! We have potlucks on July 13th, July 15th, and August 26th! Click the images below for details, and join us as we raise funds and gather together to meet urgent needs in the city of San Luis Obispo. Thank you for teaming up with us!
