Womanade at The Pinehills
Providing Emergency Financial Aid for
Plymouth School Families
Womanade at The Pinehills is a registered 501 (c)3 charitable organization founded in 2007 by women residents of The Pinehills who wanted to give back to the greater Plymouth community. Womanade welcomes all women residing in The Pinehills to join us in supporting our mission.
Mission
Our mission is to provide short-term, emergency financial assistance to families with children in the Plymouth Public Schools. Womanade works with a liaison from the Plymouth Schools who forwards requests initiated by teachers, nurses, psychologists, guidance counselors and principals working directly with the students.
In the past, Womanade has provided assistance including but not limited to: groceries, rent, utility bills, clothing, and personal items. Since 2007, Womanade at The Pinehills has helped over 400 families and children in the Plymouth Schools with emergency aid amounting to more than $233,000.
Fundraising
Womanade primarily raises funds by holding bi-monthly social gatherings at the Stonebridge Club. Attendees are asked for a donation at each meeting. 100% of those donations are used to help families in need. Donations are welcomed at any time and may include memorial gifts, as well as gifts for other life-events, or simply in support of our mission. All donations are gratefully accepted.
Womanade is also registered in the Clements’ Community Partners Program. When you shop at Clements’ Market in Manomet, please mail your receipts to Womanade at the The Pinehills, 33 Summerhouse Drive, Plymouth, MA 02360. Our Treasurer collects the receipts and then turns them in to Clements’ when we have accumulated a minimum of $2500 worth of purchases. Womanade receives a check equal to a percentage of the total of the accumulated receipts.
