100+ Women Who Care donation will be split among three Thunder Rode programs

The 100+ Women Who Care local chapter is announcing that it has made a $3,300 donation to Thunder Rode Therapeutic Riding in Decorah. Thunder Rode provides confidence-building and rehabilitative training to individuals of all ages with special needs, using specially trained horses.

Thunder Rode Executive Director Michelle McLain-Kruse says her group has decided to split the donation among all three of its services. $1,100 will be used to pay for the ribbons/awards for Game Day at the Winneshiek County Fair and to hire an Equine Massage person to teach how to better care of the horses.

Another $1,100 will be used for Iowa Thunder Empowerment to help pay for t-shirts for participants and for journaling and scrap-booking materials.

The final $1,100 will be used for Tri-states Thunder Vets to help pay for food and presentation equipment for Thunder Rode's Veterans and Families Appreciation Summit.

100+ Women Who Care is also encouraging everyone to donate to a local food pantry to help the pantry meet increased demands.
