The group provides opportunities for women of all ages and backgrounds to invest their time, talents, and treasures in ways that strengthen the lives of women and children in Middlesex County.
Some of the Women’s Initiative’s ongoing activities include a bi-monthly women’s networking breakfast; an annual free financial literacy workshop, annual drives for books, toiletries, and “gently used” purses for local programs working with women and children; and the distribution of small, one-time grants to programs that meet one or more of the group’s focus areas: early childhood development, empowering young women, and financial stability.
