​To All,

We had a meeting with the 2022 WES Department Chairs Tuesday, January 12, and it was decided to postpone the WES scheduled for Feb 11-13 due to the current situation with COVID. We want to keep all volunteers and shoppers healthy. A later date or location has not yet been decided. We will keep you posted as those plans unfold. 

We will no longer be accepting donations until a new date has been determined. Please hold your donations until we announce drop-offs have resumed.

Thank you to all of you for your devoted time, hard work, and support of the WES. We are pausing for a bit until COVID settles down in the community and will gear back up when it is safe to do so.

In the interim, we welcome monetary contributions which go into the pool to fund grants after we hold the WES. The community’s needs remain great even while we are on “hold”.  If you would like to make a financial contribution now, please do so in one of these two ways:

• Write a check (payable to Women of St. James; write WES in the memo section)
• Donate by Credit Card HERE

Please contact us with any questions that you may have.
