What we do

Requests on Hold, Alas!

We are currently experiencing a huge increase in requests, particularly for furniture. You may still submit requests, but until we take care of our backlog we will be unable to fill them. We'll hold your request in the meantime, but we also suggest you continue to try other resources.

We are more than 100 Good Women.  We are a community.  This community helps when there is a need that slips through the cracks.  How?  Grocery cards when a family needs help.  Gas cards when a parent is stretched too thin.  School shoes.  Rides to the doctor when other programs are booked.  Gift cards for Christmas.  The list goes on.

We have a list of members almost 500 strong!  The member receives the notification that something is needed.  No pressure.  No expectation.  But if the member has what is needed?  Fantastic.  Just let us know.  It truly is this simple. 

Our goal is to say yes.  Yes to gift cards, rides, shoes, household goods, gas cards, grocery cards...yes, yes, yes.

For example

Clara has three young boys and has escaped an abusive relationship.  She couldn't provide Christmas for her children.  But 100 Good Women came through.  Her boys were able to open presents on Christmas morning, and we have you to thank.

A Lawrence family was homeless and finally able to get a home!  They didn't have beds or bedding.  We put the request out and you came through.  They now have sheets, pillowcases and beds to sleep on.  In their new home.  

A call came in from a woman who didn't have rides to chemo.  The services in town were booked, but we put out the request and you came through.  This isn't an every-day-kind-of-request.  This is life saving and life affirming.
