October Recap!

You are making a massive difference. The needs have increased, and this month Womenade SLO more than doubled the amount of needs met compared to last month. We had half the donors but we were able to meet every need! Thank you so much! In October:

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

• 22 households donated so we met every need.

• $7,628.31 was given to help SLO residents in need.

• 100% of your donations helped someone in crisis in the city of SLO

If you are able to donate to help us meet needs in November and beyond, you can be sure that 100% of your donations go to meet urgent needs for residents of the city of SLO. Thank you for attending October's potluck! We plan to have one on December 9th, so save the date and we will send more details soon. If you'd like a custom fundraiser created for your birthday, service group, business team building event, social media bio, etc, let me know! Read on for words of thanks from a client you helped, words from volunteers, and a list of the needs you met this month!

"The look on the teenager's face when he and I set up his new bed was absolutely priceless. The experience left us feeling humbled and inspired with full hearts; ready for that next delivery. It takes a village."
