Strike Force 421 is a Giv- ing Circle headed by women of faith. Comprised of a group of people who give to a pooled fund and decide together where to give, giving circles allow members to learn more about giving and have greater impact on causes they care about. “We had so much fun see- ing everyone that joined, hear- ing from our previous grantees, and announcing this year's grant recipients,” said JoAnne Daudt, StrikeForce 421 founder. “This was our first year ever being able to fully fund all five grant finalists! What a tes- tament to the power of the women of our community com- ing together to make a serious impact in these worthy min- istries.” The following ministries re- ceived funding for their grant requests: • Eleventh Element Ministries received $15,200 • Live the Life South Florida received $75,000 • Mount Bethel Human Services (Prevention Central) received $25,000 • Trees of Hope received $15,000 • Wellspring Counseling eceived $25,000 StrikeForce 421 ensures that every dollar given goes di- rectly to ministries. They don't hold anything back, which means that they are now start- ing all over again! Visit strike- force421.org to learn more.
