On March 21, 2026, the 100 Women Who Care Sylvan Lake group donated $6,150 to Sylvan Lake Community Partners, reaching a total of more than $130,000 raised for the community in Sylvan Lake, Alberta.
This latest donation marks a major milestone for the giving group, which started in April 2019. The organization, co-founded by Kim Langmaid, meets three times a year at the Sylvan Lake Lion’s Hall to vote on which local cause will receive the money collected from its members.
The funds were awarded to Sylvan Lake Community Partners, a non-profit that has been helping local families and individuals in crisis for over 25 years. Led by Executive Director Donna Ellerby, the organization provides free services such as food bank access, medical equipment loans, and clothing assistance to hundreds of people each month.
Each member of 100 Women Who Care Sylvan Lake commits to donating $100 per meeting, creating a simple way to provide large donations to local causes. Unlike traditional government grants, these donations come with no strings attached, allowing the charity to spend the money wherever the need is most urgent.
Sylvan Lake is a growing community of about 18,000 residents located west of Red Deer. This donation is the third time the women’s group has supported Community Partners, following previous contributions made in 2019 and 2023.
