December 9 was a special night at Nakoma Golf Club where 100+ Women Who Care – Madison celebrated our 10th anniversary as an organization and presented the $10,000 Impact Award to Felicia’s Donation Closet.
Felicia’s Donation Closet locates and delivers needed bedroom and living room furniture, kitchen items, bath essentials, and toys for domestic abuse survivors and families who are moving from a shelter into their own homes.
