Charity Poker

Donna and Mary hard at work.

For four days, TWA volunteers worked at a Charity Poker in the basement of Big Beaver Tavern in Troy.  This was our first time at raising money by hosting this event.  After four days, we raised about $1,200 that will now be redirected for causes that improve the lives of people in our community.  An added benefit was being able to spend time with other members, meet new people, and as we often do, have lots of laughs. We look forward to making this a part of our overall effort at raising money in years to come.

Baby Basics

Baby Basics of Troy Ministry provides disposable diapers to children from birth to age three. Families are pre-screened using Federal guidelines. The program is based in Northminster Presbyterian Church, although the church is not affiliated with the program.

The diapers are distributed to the recipients who either live or work in Troy on the first and third Wednesday of each month. Volunteers from Troy Women’s Association assist with the purchasing and distribution along with sharing in the annual Christmas party for the clients in December and a Birthday party in the spring.
