100 Who Care, Ellis County
Our strength lies in our shared commitment: that by giving a little, we can do a lot for those in need.
We are excited to invite you to our upcoming 100 Who Care, Ellis County meeting on Tuesday, October 14. This month, we will be hearing from these three wonderful nonprofits making a difference in our community:
• Big Brothers Big Sisters: Focused on fostering meaningful one-to-one mentoring relationships that unlock the potential and promise of our youth. Their impactful work not only transforms lives but also strengthens families and creates brighter futures. We are fortunate to have this valuable program right here in Ellis County.
• Jana’s Campaign: Committed to preventing gender and relationship violence through early education and awareness. What started as a local initiative in Ellis County has grown into a vital nationwide service that saves lives, empowers individuals, and builds safer, healthier communities.
• First Call for Help: Dedicated to alleviating the effects of poverty by connecting individuals and families with essential resources and support during times of crisis. Their efforts bring hope, stability, and practical solutions to members of Ellis County, helping to strengthen our community as a whole.
A special thank you goes out to our Fort Hays State University Leadership 310 team — Landon, Abigail, Sierra, and Hunter — as well as our current steering team members, Jack, Jessie, and Brandy. The LDRS 310 class focuses on developing leadership skills through hands-on community engagement, and our 100 Who Care program is proud to serve as a real-world platform where these emerging leaders can apply their learning to support and strengthen Ellis County.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, snacks and beverages will be provided by POPt Popcorn and A&A Coors, meeting space is graciously hosted by the Sternberg Museum. If you are unable to attend, please feel free to drop off your donation at Wayne Voss State Farm, 2707 Vine St., Ste 13, Hays. Notify Brandy ahead of time with your voting preference, and she will be happy to vote by proxy on your behalf.
At 100 Who Care, Ellis County, we come together because we believe in the power of collective giving to create real, positive change in our community. Please consider inviting a friend to join us as we strive to grow our membership beyond 100 and make an even greater impact.
Finally, stay tuned for some exciting news — we will be launching an online payment platform early in 2026 to make giving even easier! Thank you for your continued passion and support.
Generosity is the heartbeat of 100 Who Care — where every gift counts, every member matters, and every cause benefits. We look forward to seeing you on October 14!
