Sunday celebration to honor 14 women who help their communities

YOUNGSTOWN

Anna Hardin, founder and president of 100 Plus Foundation, said she still remembers why she and five other women banded together in 2007 to create the foundation: The love they have for the community.

For a decade, the foundation of passionate women has made a difference here with a core purpose of love, understanding and support for local organizations, groups and individuals in any way they can.

“We think alike, we love people, we do for people, and so with that, this is what happened,” she said.

The foundation started having no money, grants or outside help and using money gathered through donations and sometimes their own pockets to serve individuals and groups in need. The 100 Plus Foundation will celebrate that notion for its 10th year anniversary at the Heavenly Place Church of God in Christ on Katherine Avenue at 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free,

The celebration also will honor 14 women whom the foundation considers trailblazers in their community.
