WGA members gather for grant announcement
Riverside resident Delores Barr Weaver, one of the five founders of the Women’s Giving Alliance, spoke during the group’s annual meeting in late October. The event, held at the University of North Florida’s University Center, set the stage for an announcement of this year’s grants from the group. The grants total more than $316,000 and are awarded to the following recipients serving women and girls: PACE Center for Girls; I.M Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless; Volunteers in medicine; and the Women’s Center of Jacksonville. The grants will help each group improve mental health concerns for women and girls they serve.
