100 Women Who Care - North Central Connecticut donates $3900 to Enfield Loaves and Fishes
Enfield Loaves and Fishes, a local non-profit charity assisting those in need in the Enfield area, recently received a donation of $3900 from 100 Women Who Care - North Central Connecticut. Enfield Loaves and Fishes is a local area soup kitchen that provides hospitality to those in need by offering meals, aid and companionship at no charge, to the poor, hungry and disenfranchised within our community. Serving Enfield, CT and surrounding areas, Enfield Loaves and Fishes is a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization, incorporated in 1983.
Maya Nicole Matthews, Executive Director, accepted the donation stating, “On behalf of Enfield Loaves and Fishes, I would like to thank you for your kind and generous donation. Thank you for helping us feed the ever increasing number of people experiencing food insecurity in Enfield and the surrounding area. We are so grateful for the support of our community, which allows us to meet the increased need we are challenged with during these unprecedented times. Without generous benefactors like you and our volunteers who give selflessly week after week, Enfield Loaves and Fishes would not be able to continue the fight against hunger in our community. We appreciate your selfless aid”.
100 Women Who Care - North Central Connecticut is a philanthropic organization with over 600 chapters throughout the world. Inspired by influence of their collective resources, the group meets four times a year to select a charity to receive a contribution. For more information, contact 100women@cox.net.
