FFCS Backpack Program — In November 2025, 100 Women Who Care voted to support the Fonda / Fultonville Central Schools Weekend Backpack Program. Students and teachers work to provide enough food for kids that may not have sufficient resources at home to have nutritious meals on Saturday and Sunday when they’re away from the school cafeteria. With this gift, the program was able to expand to include many new recipients.

Johnstown Food Pantry — At the August 2021 online meeting of 100 Women Who Care a group decision was made to donate to the Johnstown Food Pantry. The food pantry has seen a 40% increase in need during the pandemic months. Currently located on Market Street in Johnstown, the organization will be moving across the street when renovation of the One Church Street building is completed in 2022.
