The Giving Hope, Women's Giving Circle Fund was established in 2006 by a group of women who wanted to learn more about the needs of women and children in the community and makes grants to organizations that assist them. The circle has grown over the years and includes women of all ages and backgrounds. The circle meets regularly for members and their guests to learn about needs in the community. Their grants have covered many needs: literacy for children, adults, and ESL learners; shelter and programming for victims of domestic violence; clothing and food needs for school children; libraries, preschool for low-income children, and mental health.
