Volusia County Women Who Care presented a record-breaking grant of $35,007.95 to the Volusia Free Clinic during a ribbon cutting event at the clinic's new facility on July 17.
The grant is the largest quarterly gift in VCWWC history and marks a major milestone in the organization’s mission to fund and elevate nonprofits serving Volusia County, a VCWWC press release said. The group also awarded two supplemental grants of $1,250 each from its Community Partner Impact Fund to Halifax Urban Ministries and the Early Learning Coalition of Flagler & Volusia, in support of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
VCWWC members, board members, Volusia Free Clinic leaders and more attended the event where guests toured the new clinic, enjoyed refreshments, and heard remarks from local leaders and honorees, the press release said.
VCWWC President Teresa Smith presented the checks.
“This grant is just one part of the incredible story of how our members responded to a need,” Smith said. “Through their connections, support, and commitment to local impact, Volusia Free Clinic secured donated clinic space, a full build-out including plumbing, electrical work, flooring, and painting — and even donated medical equipment and furnishings. That’s the power of collective giving.”
