The Flagler Woman’s Club has raised over $2,700 in donations for the Flagler County Education Foundation.
The club held a S.T.U.F.F. Bus drive on Saturday, Sept. 16 to fundraise for the foundation. Club member Candy Cornelssen said the club expected to raise around $700, not including in-kind donations like headphones and clothing.
In total value, the Education Foundation received $2,776.70 from the day of the event, including cash and physical donations, Corelssen said.
Cornelssen said that when she went to the foundation to see what kind of donations it needed for students, she was told clothing and headphones. Moore explained that the clothing and donations would go to help Flagler County's families in need and its homeless student population, Cornelssen said.
“They’ll help any homeless family with these items,” Cornelssen said. “It’s beautiful.”
Cornelssen said the club has members in their 50s and even up to their 90s, each one with their own experiences and talents to bring to the table as the club members brainstorm ways to help out their community.
“It’s like these women are just churning and putting their heads together,” Cornelssen said. “Somebody always comes up with something.”
