Our Impact
The central focus of Zonta is to better the lives of women. One way we do that is through building supportive relationships with each other. Together, we advocate and serve women locally and globally. There have been many different service projects over the years. Our signature event (prior to COVID) was the Fashion Show. In 2022 and 2023, we will introduce new fundraisers we hope our community will embrace as much as they did the Fashion Show. We have lots of plans in the works. Fundraising proceeds have gone to Zonta International Service Projects as well as supporting CADA House, Open Door Health Center, YWCA, SSND Learning Center, Life-Work Planning Center, and A Fresh Start.
We continually look for causes to support that fit our mission.
