Copper Country 100 Women Who Care supports food and nutrition education for youth with a donation to the Pewabic Street Community Garden.
Started in 2025, the group brings together women from Baraga, Houghton and Keweenaw counties who want to support charitable causes in the region. The group supported four organizations with more than $18,000 in donations last year.
In the first quarter of 2026, the group chose to support the Pewabic Street Community Garden’s outreach efforts with local school districts. The organization’s members raised $7,000 for the first donation of the year.
PSCG Director Elena Busova says the donation will support outreach programs with elementary students and younger children. Since 2010, the Pewabic Street Community Garden has invited students from Houghton Elementary School to work with gardeners to plant new beds and enjoy fresh vegetables from the garden.
The group meets quarterly to select a new organization to support. Members donate $100 at each meeting to support Copper Country nonprofits. Those interested in learning more can find details online, including future meeting dates. Find more information here.
