Monticello Women of Today members are helping with Kids Kitchen from June 11 through August 13 to benefit Monticello school district area families.  The Monticello Foodshelf provides a variety of food items to be distributed this summer to families in the community.  About 230-250 kids are served each week!  Thanks to all our volunteers.  This is another example of the Monticello community pulling together to help out.

Do you know what happens when a lot of chapters come together across the state and volunteer their time and donate money to great causes?!  We make an IMPACT!  It’s estimated that about 40-45% of our chapters report their donated funds and volunteer hours.  For our 2015-2016 year, here were the reported statistics – aren’t they impressive?!

Breaking Free programming area:  $40,502.73 in dollars and in-kind donations

Women’s Wellness projects:  $2,658.04 in dollars and in-kind donations

Youth of Today projects:  $48,288.73 in dollars and in-kind donations

Community Connection projects:  $68,095.44 in dollars and in-kind donations

The total volunteer hours reported were worth a total of $411,498.96 (valued at $23.56 per hour).
