Backpack Mania 🎒
Every year we host Backpack Mania—our annual effort to support kids in local shelters with the exact school supplies they need.
With custom lists from shelters, we make sure every child starts the year prepared and confident.
✨ Help us give them the tools—and hope—for a strong school year.
Love Fund Grants
Grants are the heart of Caring Women’s Connection – raising funds and giving it all away to charities that align with our mission. Each year, between July and August, we build our Love Fund through events, sponsorships, Corporate supporters, Love Fund Gem individual donations and general donations. The application period for grant submission begins in January each year. A dedicated committee carefully reviews every application to ensure that the organizations we support are not only serving women, children, and those in need—but also have a proven track record of making a positive impact in our community. We make final funding decisions in May each year.

Holiday Helpers
Adopt a Family This Holiday Season 🎁
Each year, we invite you to help bring holiday joy to families living in local shelters by “adopting” them and fulfilling their personal wish lists. With your generosity, we make the season brighter—one gift, one family at a time.
🎄 Wish lists will be available this fall, and we ask that all donations be dropped off in early December.
Together, we’ll share the spirit of the season with those who need it most.
