During its spring meeting, the 100 Women Who Care of Putnam County organization was able to give $7,500 to the local chapter of Isaiah 117 House.

The program serves as a safe holding space for children who are removed from their homes by the Department of Child Services to await foster placement. The house, which is still in the planning stages, will serve the Putnam DCS office as well as other surrounding county offices.

The home will be stocked with anything a child might want or need — clothes, shoes, toys, food, hygiene products and trauma-informed volunteers. The money donated by the 100 Women will go toward the total project of building a home in Putnam County.

“We are excited to be able to support such an amazing mission in our community,” 100 Women Chair Amy Wells said.
