The women of the Fork River Women’s Institute recently made a donation of cash and hygiene items to the Parkland Crisis Center and Women’s Shelter.

Pictured are Amanda of the Crisis Center, and Marilyn Kippen, Lorna DeVos and Emily Pylypchuk of the Fork River WI.

The ladies of the WI live by the motto “For Home and Country.” They are a dozen women who focus on sharing helpful information and improving the lives of women and families locally, nationally and internationally.

Despite the difficulties of fund-raising during COVID-19, the group wanted to help other women facing difficult times in their lives.
