WE ARE WOMEN UNITED

Message from the Co-Chairs
Joining efforts with the amazing women of Women United as well as supporting causes that have become so dear to me has been more rewarding than I could have imagined. I am grateful for the experiences I have had thus far, interacting with children and teens that have truly benefitted from some of our efforts, including On Track to Success and Summer Eats for Kids programs.
Melissa Caschera
Women United Co-Chair
I know I wanted to serve my community but it was when I first met some of the youth that are part of the On Track to Success program that I was completely hooked. To meet these young people in the early stages of their program and meet them when they’re finishing high school and going on to College or University is stupendous.
