100 Women Who Care – Chelsea Area (100 WWC – Chelsea Area) has given its fourth Impact Award of $9,633 to House N2 Home.
Robin Tackett, a member of 100 WWC – Chelsea Area, nominated House N2 Home for consideration, and Ruth Ann Logue, president of the nonprofit organization, represented that charity at the meeting. House N2 Home was started in 2017 “as a small group of friends working together to furnish a home for one single mom and her children.” In the years since, the organization has grown to over 100 volunteers who have furnished the homes of 350 individuals and families transitioning from homelessness in Washtenaw County.
The Impact Award meeting was held via Zoom on the evening of Oct. 5, following a reception sponsored by and hosted at Chelsea State Bank in Chelsea. Of the eligible charities nominated by members, three were chosen at random in advance of the event. Each of the three charities had seven minutes to make their best case for their mission to the membership, giving those in attendance insight into their contributions to the community. House N2 Home received the majority of the votes and was the recipient of the evening’s Impact Award.
100 WWC – Chelsea Area is based on the simple concept of bringing local women together to make a maximum impact in a minimal amount of time. Meetings (held three times a year) are only one hour each, and in that hour, members select a local charity and thousands of dollars are raised for that nonprofit organization.
Only members may nominate a charity, which must be a 501(c)3 organization (or formally sponsored by one), that serves Chelsea, Stockbridge, Dexter, Grass Lake, Manchester or adjacent townships. There’s no volunteering, telemarketing, event planning or item donations to solicit — just the joy of giving back to the community.
100 WWC-Chelsea Area’s next Impact Award meeting is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 1. Women interested in joining can find all the details at www.100wwcchelsea.org, along with the list of eligible charities and how they can be nominated by members. Membership is open to any woman who is interested in making a difference.
