Must Read

After a two year hiatus thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Greater Gardner Women’s Circle of Giving has come back stronger than ever, raising $25,225 for six local non-profit organizations in just the last year.

The following organizations received funding from the Circle this past year: Cancer Support Fund of Central Massachusetts, Winchendon Community Action Committee, Gardner Department of Emergency Housing Mission, Voices of Truth, Empower Children for Success, and High Ridge Harmony Farm: Animal Assisted Healing and Wellness.

In January 2022, the co-founders of the Circle passed the baton to a newly established leadership committee that includes Lynn Sayarath, Theresa Thompson, Shannon Ouellette, and Tracy Hutchinson to continue the work of supporting local women, children and families in the community through philanthropy.

Circle relies on volunteers to support local organizations

Sayarath, one of the Circle’s leaders, said the organization runs completely on volunteers and the support of business within the community.

“Without all of the help from these people we can’t do what we’re doing,” she said. “I really see us as the vehicle that helps people give back to our community and helps people learn about these local organizations that are doing really good work which they sometimes fly under the radar.”
