July meeting

The 100 Men Who Care met on July 22nd at the Spanish Wells Club. The new Director of the Volunteers in Medicine, John Newman, shared how 100MWC helped local residents on the island improve their quality of life. Members presented local needs being served by the Boys and Girls Club, St. James Food Pantry and Safe Harbour.

Votes were submitted and a decision was made that our giving pool would be directed to the Boys and Girls Club for current initiatives. several men elected to make additional donations to the other needs presented.

In total, the 100 Men contributed $13,700 to help support local needs.

Researched the idea

We contacted the 100+ Women Who Care for the secret recipe which turned out to be the same formula used by over 700 organizations nationally and coined by the 100 Who Care Alliance. The cat was out of the bag. We definitely could do this.

In March, we outlined how we wanted to spread the word to have an impact on the island.

Firepit

February 2021… Three guys, Mike, Terry and Beau, with their wives were sitting around a fire pit discussing how a group of ladies had a major impact on a charity that has captivated us – The Hunger Coalition of the Low Country or as they are known, the BackPack Buddies.

We saw how 150 women, met for one hour, discuss local needs and made a $15,000 donation to local non profit. We said, we can do this!
