(WNY News Now) – The Allegany-Cattaraugus-Chautauqua Fund for Women (ACC FFW) has unveiled its year-end fundraising campaign, featuring an in-person event scheduled for November 12th, aimed at supporting women seeking financial assistance for long-term financial health.

Alfred Station – The Allegany-Cattaraugus-Chautauqua Fund for Women (ACC FFW) has launched its annual year-end fundraising campaign, with a special in-person event slated for November 12th. The funds generated during this period will play a crucial role in backing the ACC FFW’s grant-making activities in 2024, which aim to provide financial aid to women striving for sustained self-sufficiency.

Since its inception in 2018, the ACC FFW has disbursed over $14,000 in grants to women across Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties, aiding them in their journey towards long-term financial stability.

To kick off the holiday season, on November 12th, the ACC FFW will host a hands-on charcuterie class at the Wellsville Creative Arts Center (WCAC). Proceeds from this event will bolster the Fund’s initiatives. Limited seating is available for the first 30 ticket holders, which can be purchased online at ACC FFW’s website. Attendees will craft their own 9” charcuterie boards during the class, and a raffle featuring items donated by local artisans and businesses will add to the excitement. The event is made possible thanks to the generous support of sponsors like Certified Safety Products of NY, Inc., Community Bank, N.A., Cunningham Stauring & Associates, Inc., and the WCAC.

For those looking to contribute, donations can be made directly to the ACC FFW through their website at https://www.accffw.org/donate-now. Contributions to this Fund are eligible for tax deductions as permitted by law.
