New Queen Bees a buzz for shelters

A new group of Queen Bees is taking flight to raise awareness of and funds for the two Catholic Charities shelters.

Eight local women are reaching out to family, friends and coworkers through Nov. 11 with the goal of each raising at least $3,000 to support the operations of Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter and St. Anthony Family Shelter. That figure represents the costs to house, feed and provide supplies for one family in shelter for one month.

Queen Bee Woman of the Year

At the conclusion of the campaign, the top fundraiser will be named Queen Bee Woman of the Year.

This marks the seventh Queen Bee campaign for Catholic Charities, which taps into the leadership of the community’s most dynamic and inspiring women – women who believe in making a difference. In 2022, six Queen Bees combined to raise the dollars necessary to provide one month of shelter, food and assistance for 28 families.
