COMING EVENTS
CCWC will be supporting the following charities in 2012 based on the voting
Congratulations to all the charities and presenters for a job well done. Every charity is a worthwhile endeavor, but unfortunately we had to choose. The Club voted 34 to 7 to fund 2 charities in 2012. The recipients are Begin With Books and Katie’s Krops.
Begin With Books: Formed in 2009 is an all volunteer program of the Palmetto Project, Charleston County’s Affiliate of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. The program’s mission is to eliminate access barriers to early childhood literacy by delivering age appropriate books to pre-school children by mail via Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
Begin With Books serves all children meeting age criteria (under 5 years) in designated zip code zones. Gender and ethnicity are not qualifying criteria. This program seeks to eliminate access barriers to early childhood literacy in Charleston County and to improve school readiness (pre-literacy) of children entering the school system. The funding will be used to register children and to purchase and deliver the books.
Katie’s Krops: Katie Stagliano, founder of Katie’s Krops, was only in the 3rd grade when her 1st garden adventure led to her dream of starting and maintaining vegetable gardens then donate the harvest to help feed people in need, as well as to assist and inspire others to do the same. Katie’s Krops now has 5 operating vegetable gardens in the Lowcountry and a 48’x25’ greenhouse. The people they serve are individuals who are homeless, families with children who are food insecure, senior citizens and disabled individuals on fixed incomes.
Katie’s mission is to help end hunger, one vegetable garden at a time. The funding will be used to for the gardens and meals for families in need.
