Women Helping Others

Community Association

It all started with a dream, a conversation between friends over coffee, and a dozen women willing to exchange their weekly lunch-out-with-the-girls for a brown bag and the chance to make a difference in their local community. It was a small beginning that led to great things. WOMEN HELPING OTHERS (WHO) has evolved to a force over 300 women strong, who collectively make a big impact on community-based organizations and improve life for many. WHO meets monthly — advancing the common good and strengthening quality of life through donations of our time, our service, and our financial assistance; while fostering inclusive camaraderie and fellowship.        Scroll Down / Click the Photos To Learn More

WHO volunteers and donates to nonprofit organizations throughout Williamson County. We have supported them by sponsoring fundraisers, volunteering, donating money, and spreading the word that these nonprofits need help. In 2023 alone, we contributed $160,000 to these community-based organizations through membership contributions and collaborations with Sun City neighborhoods and the Georgetown community. WHO works together with Meals on Wheels, a third-party fundraiser with Opportunities for Williamson and Burnet Counties, which also receives a matching donation. There's so much to be done! Won't you help us?

Sip & Shop Fundraiser May 11 for Meals on Wheels

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Sip & Shop Luncheon and Style Show 

  • The Sip & Shop luncheon and style show will be on Saturday, May 11, 2024 at the Lakeside Pavilion in Marble Falls from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. 
  • Proceeds benefit Meals on Wheels of Williamson and Burnet Counties, and WHO has been supportive of this event since it began in 2018. 
  • Tickets are $50 each or $350 for a table of 8 and can be purchased either online (www.owbc-tx.org) or at the WHO meeting on April 22.
  • There will be entertainment throughout the event, and our very own WHO vice president Maria Tolleson will provide background vocals.
  • In addition, there will be silent and dessert auctions, and a free chance to win an amazing door prize.
  • Lunch, served by the Distinguished Gentlemen (DGs), will include complimentary wine and tea.
  • The style show will feature members of the Highland Lakes Service League, who will model clothing from several Burnet County boutiques.
  • A variety of pop-up boutiques will be available for your shopping pleasure throughout the event.

Carol Sandlin, Vice President and Senior Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch, has generously donated a bus, which will take 26 lucky WHO ladies to Marble Falls for Sip & Shop. Because there will be only 26 available seats on the bus, we will have a raffle at the meeting on April 22 to determine who gets to ride the bus.

To be eligible for the raffle, here's all you need to agree to:

  • Purchase a ticket to the event. You can do this at the April 22 meeting.
  • Agree to tip the bus driver $10 and give a $5-10 tip to the Distinguished Gentleman who serves your table.
  • Put your name into the bucket for the raffle drawing and cross your fingers.
