United Ministries
The Fulton County Women’s Giving Circle hosted their annual event at the Times Theater on Tuesday, October 1. Over 35 women attended the event, where the group granted $10,000 to local charitable organizations.
Receiving the most member votes, United Ministries was awarded a $3,500 grant to help fund their emergency relief program that assists residents facing eviction or utility disconnection. A $2,500 grant was awarded to the Rochester Middle and High School Band for instrument repairs. Grace MomCo (formerly MOPS) was awarded a $2,000 grant for program support. Grants of $1,000 each were awarded to both the Nickel Plate Trail and Fulton County Park Department.
“United Ministries of Fulton County is very grateful to the Women’s Giving Circle for giving to community people in need of food, housing, utilities, and Christmas Baskets,” said David Smook with United Ministries. “Thanks to NICF for their bringing together generous givers with community building groups in the county.”
Since 2010, the Women’s Giving Circle has granted nearly $100,000 to Fulton County charitable groups. Members pay a $120 annual donation that goes towards that year’s grant dollars as well as the giving circle’s endowment fund.
