Community SupportThe SRWC is thankful for the generous support we received in 2020 from all aspects of the community during a year impacted so fundamentally by the pandemic. Local women gave time and talent… We are an all volunteer organization of actively engaged women committed to improving our local community through philanthropy, while providing social and community enrichment to our members and our neighborhoods. Our volunteers give their time and a wide spectrum of unique talents — leadership, managerial, financial, along with many more — enabling us to serve our members and community.
The community and members gave financially to support our neighbors in south Deschutes County … We are grateful for the overall increase in the number of donors we saw contributing as well as the increase in the amount of individual donations.
Business and Community groups gave their support… A special thank-you to these businesses and community groups who generously contributed to the SRWC especially as they also experienced pandemic restrictions.
