100 Women Who Care donate to St. Helena Gullah Cummunity Housing Project

//

Each quarter, 100 Women Who Care donate $100 per member to a worthy nonprofit in Northern Beaufort County, that has an immediate need for funding. The St. Helena Gullah Community Housing Project was awarded $11,700 in January by members who understood the impact that this money could have on their organization. They desperately sought funds to address critical, essential housing repairs within St. Helena’s Gullah community. These repairs transform the lives of residents by creating safe, habitable and healthy places to live. Drastic home repairs can force homeowners to move out of their home if they can’t afford the expense. 100 Women Who Care did not want to see residents leave communities where they have deep roots. There are more than 80 homes in need of repair — from septic tanks and HVAC to safe floors, secure windows and running hot/cold water. Their goal is to repair 30 homes a year that do not meet the federal and state guidelines for funding. This money will go a long way to helping them achieve this result.
