Chaffee County Women Who Care reached an important milestone this month as they gave a grant of $11,700 to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) of Chaffee County.
This donation means that CCWWC has donated a total of more than $100,000 to ten different nonprofit organizations in Chaffee County since their first meeting in October of 2018.
âNAMI CC is thrilled to be the recipient of the Women Who Care quarterly gift. Thanks to the generosity of Women Who Care, NAMI CC will be able to expand and sustain its life saving programs,â says Eunice Collette, president of NAMI Chaffee County.
Collette says that the challenges of the past year have considerably increased the need for mental health supports. NAMI Chaffee County strives to meets these needs with programs such as evidence-based Family-to-Family classes, Mental Health Crisis Planning and Family Support Group meetings for family and friends of loved ones living with a mental health condition.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI Mel Trotter Ministries has raised more than $9.8 million as part of a $14.9 million campaign to renovate its men’s homeless shelter, expand job training and offer more transitional housing.
The faith-based nonprofit, located at 225 Commerce Ave. SW in Grand Rapids’ Heartside neighborhood, says it plans to begin construction on the renovated 113-bed shelter this summer, and that the project is expected to be complete by fall 2022.
The group want clear guidance issued on Helms and another misinterpreted law, the Leahy amendment.
âThe US is the largest funder of global health, including family planning, and is the only donor nation to single out abortion in this way,â the letter says. âMany US abortion restrictions, including the Helms amendment, have consistently been in place for decades, causing generationsâ worth of harm â and they will continue to do so if action is not taken. This is a matter of utmost urgency as bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom are increasingly under siege.â
During his first 10 days in office, Biden rescinded the Mexico City Policy â known as the âglobal gag ruleâ â which stopped overseas groups that received US aid using money from other sources to fund abortion services. Kamala Harris, the US vice-president, co-signed a bill to repeal the policy permanently â currently, it can be reintroduced or rescinded by each president
