In Focus: Hope Housing Collaborative of Lewis County wins support at second 100+ Women Who Care event

Mark McHugh of Hope Housing Collaborative of Lewis County accepted a check for $5,200 from Centralia-Chehalis Soroptomist Club members Vanessa Horning and Cynthia Waddell during a 100+ Women Who Care event at the Lewis and Clark Hotel in Centralia on Thursday, Feb. 12.

It’s the second year the club has held the event, which this year showcased three local nonprofits: the Lewis County Autism Coalition, Hope Alliance of Lewis County and the Hope Housing Collaborative of Lewis County.

The nonprofits were picked randomly from the nominations that were provided by the participants from last year, the release stated.

Attendees heard 10-minute presentations from each organization about their mission, impact and needs.

Then, participants voted to determine which nonprofit would receive the donations raised during the event. Each attendee paid $100 for a voting ticket, providing the funds for the winner.
