Law foundation makes donation to WWC program

Representatives of the Luzerne County Bar Association Charitable Foundation recently presented a check to the Ruth Matthews Bourger Women with Children Program (WWC) at Misericordia University. WWC provides a place to live and a support network for single women with children pursuing an education. The donation will be used for the Women with Children Emergency Fund, which assists with the cost of items such as food, medicine, clothing and emergency child-care needs for families in the program.
