Because when 100 women unite, Indianola wins. Local dollars, local decisions, local impact.

Supporting 100 Women Who Care Indianola means investing in the power of collective giving. When local women come together, even small contributions create big, immediate impact for the organizations that strengthen our community.

We are so excited to announce that the winner of our April meeting was 🥁🥁🥁 ... Friends of the Indianola Public Library! We are glad that we can help support the facility improvements and the long-term mission of our public library ... an important part of our local community!

We also took a check picture with last month's winner, Maximillion's Muddy Puddles, and heard a little more about where things are at with their fundraising and the future splash pad. Other organizations that were nominated were Limbs of Love and Jesse J Sanctuary Foundation!

Thank you to everyone who came out to give back to our community and connect with other local women at West Hill Brewing Company on July 14!!

We are deeply grateful for the continued support of the Independent Advocate, the many dedicated businesses and agencies across Warren County, and the residents who make this community so strong.

Hundreds of people have already found rest and rejuvenation at Jesse J Sanctuary. But, according to the nonprofit’s organizers, there’s a need to serve countless more.
