The WZ Giving Circle met in July and funded 11 proposals totaling $38,051 to assist community members in need. Proposals included an e-bike for a young man with mobility challenges to independently be able to travel around town, dental work for a 75-year old woman on fixed social security income, and mortgage assistance for a long-time local family navigating multiple severe medical and mental health challenges.
This brings the total granted through the WZ Giving Circle in 2024 to $78,134.62. The WZ Giving Circle is a group of community members who pool their donations to provide funding for neighbors in crisis, for needs for which there is no other funding available.
