LEWISTON — The Center for Wisdom’s Women, a weekday drop in center for women in downtown Lewiston, announces that it is the recipient of a grant from the Narragansett Number One Foundation of Bar Mills. The grant of $7000 is intended to provide general operating support.

Klara Tammany, director of the women’s center, said, “Operating grants are so very helpful, especially to small nonprofits such as ours. We applaud the Narragansett Number One Foundation for making this type of funding available, and for considering our work as a worthy recipient of support.”

The Narragansett Number One Foundation is a charitable foundation dedicated to helping public charities in Maine. The Foundation concentrates first on helping neighbors in Buxton and surrounding areas. Once the foundation reviews and contributes to the most deserving causes in this geographic area, it may make grants to charities throughout Maine and elsewhere.

The Center for Wisdom’s Women offers warm hospitality, compassionate listening, personal and spiritual guidance that is respectful of all faith traditions, assistance in accessing local resources to meet needs and encouragement toward healthy life choices. All programs and services are offered free of charge.
