A Chino-based women's giving circle is gathering again this month to raise money for local causes, with its annual Seasons of Giving Brunch set for Nov. 15 at the Chaffey College Chino Community Center. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will include a decorated-table contest, a vendor boutique, games, raffles and a mimosa brunch, with proceeds benefiting three nonprofit organizations chosen by the group's members.
The organization behind it, 100+ Women Who Care Inland Empire, describes the Nov. 15 gathering on its website as featuring “decorated tables, vendor shopping, mimosa brunch, and fundraising for three impactful nonprofits,” according to 100 Women Who Care Inland Empire. As reported by the Daily Bulletin, the brunch will take place at the Chino Hills Community Center address of 5890 College Park Ave. in Chino, and will include a boutique with more than 20 local vendors offering handmade items and specialty products, alongside presentations about the selected nonprofits.
How the Giving Circle Works
100+ Women Who Care Inland Empire holds quarterly meetings where members learn about local nonprofits, nominate organizations for donations and pool their contributions toward a group vote, the Daily Bulletin reports. The organization's own site puts it simply: “Four times a year, we pool our donations and vote on a deserving nonprofit to receive up to $10,000.” Just last month, the group reported donating $7,300 to the Inland Valley Down Syndrome Association.
Ashlee Sprague, president of 100+ Women Who Care Inland Empire, said the group's model depends on members showing up and contributing together. “The group's shared commitment to giving makes members' collective action meaningful,” Sprague said, per the Daily Bulletin's report. She added that “every ticket, sponsorship and donation helps make a difference in the community.”
Three Nonprofits Named as Beneficiaries
The brunch will benefit three nonprofit organizations selected by the group's members: House of Ruth, Joshua's Joyful Giving and Rebel Ranch, according to the Daily Bulletin's reporting. House of Ruth says on its website that it serves people affected by domestic violence across the eastern Los Angeles and western San Bernardino counties, providing housing, counseling, legal and outreach services, per House of Ruth, Inc.
Chino-based Joshua's Joyful Giving focuses on care packages and financial assistance for children and families facing medical challenges. The group says its mission is “to provide toys, blankets, and books to children undergoing medical treatment at CHOC Hospital,” according to Joshua's Joyful Giving. Chino Hills-based Rebel Ranch, the third beneficiary named by the Daily Bulletin, provides healing through equine-assisted programs, mentorship and supportive services.
Last Year's Brunch Raised $12,000
This isn't the group's first Seasons of Giving Brunch. Its November 2025 event, held at the Chino Hills Community Center, drew about 200 attendees and raised $12,000 for three organizations, the Daily Bulletin reported in a February article. That brunch split its proceeds among the Kids Affirmation through Mentorship and Sports Foundation, Chino Neighborhood House and Leaps and Bounds Pediatric Therapy, per the same Daily Bulletin report — though the group's own website lists the 2025 recipients slightly differently, naming the KAMS Foundation, Leaps and Bounds and Chino Neighborhood House as the donations' destinations.
Last year's event also featured more than 20 decorated tables and a marketplace of 25 local businesses, including Special Needz Coffee and Boys Republic desserts, the Daily Bulletin noted. The group has said it has supported dozens of organizations since its formation, meeting quarterly to raise funds for causes across the Inland Empire.
