Join us for lunch on September 9, 2025 and invite a friend! Our luncheons are a warm, welcoming way to connect with others, get inspired by the impact we’re making together, and introduce someone new to the power of collective giving. 

Melissa Muntz, Executive Director of the Student Homelessness Initiative Partnership (SHIP), will join us to share insights about the Thrive Housing Network—a program that provides stable housing and intensive case management to women ages 18–24 experiencing homelessness in Frederick County. Thrive helps young women stay connected to their education while building the skills and stability needed for long-term self-sufficiency.

As always, we will share the latest Giving Circle news and introduce the newest members of the Women’s Giving Circle.

We support our community by collecting items for our non-profits at our events.

In support of SHIP, we will be collecting laundry detergent and basic hygiene items at the luncheon, including: laundry detergent, bar soap and body wash, shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste, shaving cream, toilet paper, and deodorant.

Giving Circle membership is open to all and attendance at this event is open to both members and non-members.  Giving Circle members are encouraged to bring guests who may be interested in membership.

Registration will close on Tuesday, September 2, so that we can provide an accurate count to the venue.
