Flamingo Flocking Fundraiser
Two weeks every year in April, under the cover of darkness and sometimes disguises, teams of "Flockettes" take to planting flocks of flamingos on unsuspecting residence lawns and yards. Funds are donated to place flocks and are even given to keep the flocks migrating to other lawns. The funds are used for our community projects like Comfort & Care Project and the Scholarship program. This project is terrific fun and one of our biggest fundraisers.

Flamingo Flocking Fundraiser
A community project started in 2014 by then President Laura Lee, the L2L project puts thousands of books into the hands of children every year. Three local laundromats serve as libraries for the stacks of books volunteers leave for the children to read and to take home for free. We accept donations of gently used books, both in English and Spanish. We partner with the San Benito County Office of Education with the "Bridges to Learning" program.

Comfort & Care Bundle Project
What is a Comfort & Care Bundle?
The Comfort & Care Bundle Project provides a bridge of essentials at one of the most chaotic times in a small person's life.
In its 13th year, the Care Bundles provides up to 200 backpacks to children in need from ages 0 to 18 with clothing, personal care items, a blanket, a book, and a small toy. The Women's Club of Hollister provides these items through generous donations by its members and sponsors, fundraisers, and outreach to the community.
Thank you!
