Helping Our Women Establishes Fund with The Cape Cod Foundation

YARMOUTH – Helping Our Women, a nonprofit organization that provides supportive services to women with serious medical conditions, recently created an agency fund with the Cape Cod Foundation.

Established in 1992 by a few people who wanted to support a friend who had just received a cancer diagnosis, Helping Our Women provides transportation, financial assistance, support groups, and special programs to women from the towns of Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown.

“The fund represents the 25 year legacy of our committed donor community and the many women we have served during that period,” said Gwynne Guzzeau, Helping Our Women’s Executive Director.

“It will help us build and sustain our resources, so we can meet the current and future needs of women living on the Outer Cape with chronic or serious health conditions.”

Cape Cod Foundation President and CEO Kristin O’Malley said, “Being part of the Cape Foundation has many benefits for nonprofits.”

“Because our investment professionals are pooling resources from more than 300 funds, we can offer a more diverse spectrum of options and potentially higher returns on those investments.”

HOW maintains a food and personal care pantry for clients and offers referral and advocacy services to all community members.

Donors can direct gifts to Helping Our Women Fund by contacting Gwynee Guzzeau at 508 237 8914 or at [email protected].
