The 100+ Women Who Care Cheshire County group recently chose the Hand to Heart Project to receive the donations for this quarter, a total of $17,662.
The Hand to Heart Project provides free in-home massage and compassionate touch for people with cancer and their caregivers. The massage therapists work with people of all ages with all stages and types of cancer, from the time of diagnosis to the last hours of life. They sometimes work with people for a few sessions during or just after treatment, and at other times they work with people for much longer. For information and a list of the communities the group serves, visit handtoheartproject.org.
The next meeting of 100+ Women Who Care Cheshire County will be on Monday, Aug. 7, from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Monadnock Covenant Church, 90 Base Hill Road, Keene. The business portion of the meeting starts at 6 p.m. Masks are optional, and refreshments will not be served. The group meets four times a year. Each member commits to donating $50 per quarter and, at each meeting, the group selects a different local nonprofit organization to receive the donations.
New members are always welcome. For information about the group, visit 100pluswomencheshirecounty.com or send email to 100pluswomencheshirecounty@gmail.com.
