Ever wonder what it looks like when a community takes care of its own? On May 20th, we’re inviting you to see exactly how it’s done.

Join the Womenade Council at Perbacco Cucina Italiana from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM for an hour focused on connection, local resilience, and real-time impact.

What is Womenade?
Womenade is a grassroots financial aid program that cuts through the red tape. We provide immediate support to working individuals in our community who are facing a sudden, unexpected hurdle. Think of us as the "financial first responders" for those moments when life tries to stall our momentum.

How the Council Works
We don’t just talk about problems; we fund solutions. The council reviews and approves grants for essential needs that keep people on their feet, such as:

Reliable Transportation: Auto repairs so a neighbor can get to work.
Rent Assistance: Allowing families to stay in their home.
Emergency Relief: Essential household bills that just can't wait.

A Legacy of Action
Since we first gathered in 2002, the Womenade Council has been a quiet powerhouse of local stability. Over the last two decades, the program has:

Supported over 750 individuals through financial hardships.
Distributed more than $328,000 in direct grants.

The Details

When: May 20th | 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM
Where: Perbacco Cucina Italiana
The Mission: Seeing community-driven support in action.

Whether you are curious about our mission or want to see how a small group of people can change the trajectory of a person’s life, we’d love to have you join the conversation.

See you there,

The Womenade Council

🏔️ Epic Views. Major Impact. One Unforgettable Day. ⛳️

Why settle for a standard Thursday when you could be teeing off at the stunning Glacier Club for a cause that truly matters?

On June 11, 2026, the WRC Golf Open is taking over the greens. We’re trading the daily grind for fresh mountain air and a mission to empower the women and girls in La Plata County. Every drive, chip, and (hopefully avoided) three-putt directly funds the Women’s Resource Center, providing a lifeline through their program.

⏳ Don't Get Left in the Rough!
The views are world-class, but the spots are limited. Whether you’re a scratch golfer or just in it for the scenery, we want you there—but you have to move fast! Men, Women and Mixed flights are available.

🚨 DEADLINE: Registration closes May 30, 2026.
Ready to swing for a purpose? Grab your spikes, round up your foursome, and let’s make a difference at 7,000 feet.

Community is a verb! ❤️

We are sending out a massive "Thank You" to an incredible student from Animas High School. For her Senior Activity Project, she didn't just check a box—she went above and beyond to coordinate with local businesses and neighbors to create stunning, high-end care bags for our clients.

These aren't just supplies; they are a message of dignity, worth, and care. We are so moved by the generosity of the local businesses that stepped up and the neighbors who contributed.

To our anonymous donor: You’ve made a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve. Thank you for leading with your heart! 🎒✨

Her career has included mediating for the Afghan peace process, designing early warning systems in South Sudan, leading UN emergency responses worldwide, and most recently serving as Chief of Staff to the Director General of COP28, helping coordinate a 300-person international operation.
