Both recipients are verified charities.
$50 went to Razom, at https://razomforukraine.org
Another $50 went to the World Central Kitchen, at https://wck.org.In early December, the club made a donation of $100 (from our Good Works Fund) to Carroll County Food Sunday.
This brings the club’s total donations to CCFS to over $500 since 2018!
