BENEFICIARIES

Each Year the Women's League of Reading disburses monetary contributions to many organizations throughout the community.  In 2017,  the Women’s League of Reading raised and dispersed over $28,000 to support a diverse range of organizations including educational programs, public services, and local families in need.
Each spring our members work together to assess how we can apply our charitable funds to support the needs of our town. This year, we were happy to start a new RMHS scholarship award, support both middle school Science Olympiad teams, and increase our support to Understanding Disabilities, and YMCA camp scholarships. We also continued to donate to the Reading Police Department to fund R.A.D. training, the Reading Fire Department, Elder Services, and many more.  In total we donated to 39 recipients. We are proud to support such wonderful organizations that make a meaningful impact in and around Reading.
