From staff reports
At the fourth quarter meeting in October of 100 Women Who Care (100 WWC), three different nonprofit organizations presented their needs to the group. Lowcountry Legal Volunteers was chosen and checks were written to that organization.
In November, Laura Riski, coordinator of the Beaufort 100 WWC chapter, presented Anne Caywood a check for $13,600. The group chose Lowcountry Legal Volunteers because it provides free legal counsel for low income residents of northern Beaufort County.
Its emphasis is on families, and it tries to ensure that each client has equal access to justice and are properly represented regardless of their ability to pay, whether it involves adoption, custody, child support, visitation, guardianship or divorce.

100 Women Who Care has now distributed more than $469,000 to Northern Beaufort County nonprofits. More than 100 local women meet quarterly and each donate $100 check to the selected nonprofit. For more information, visit www.100wwcbeaufort.org.
