2023 Year In Review

A Letter from the Board

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, ORW helped a record number of neighbors in 2023.


Your kindness helps sustain the dignity of men, women, and families in our community who are facing financial hurdles that can have devastating consequences. 

 

The idea is simple, the impact is immeasurable.

​

Here's to Another Great Year!

OYSTER RIVER WOMENADE’S 2023 HIGHLIGHTS

​

We supported 91 members of our community in need through validated requests.

​

Here are some impactful stories from this year:

  • A physically disabled single father of two girls needed help with a car payment.

  • A family with a 5-year-old battling a brain tumor required assistance with rent.

  • A disabled woman, sleeping on the floor, sought help acquiring a mattress.

  • A woman on Medicare had one of her eyeglass lenses missing for 6 months and needed new glasses.

  • $500 went to each elementary, middle, and high school in the Oyster River, Barrington, and Newmarket School Districts, benefiting our communities' children in need.
