Since the Founding of Zonta of Douglas County, we have:
-
Provided Victims Kits (New Sweat Suits and Toiletries, other items) for

Agencies, so that victims of domestic Violence, rape, or drug labs can
retain some sense of dignity when they must give up clothes for evidence
of health and safety reasons.

clothing and household items for the Douglas and Elbert

in addition to awarding grants to help with aid to the truly needy in our
community.
-
Volunteered and helped raise funds for the Women's Crisis & Family
Outreach organization, in addition to awarding grants to help fund
ongoing
counseling for Women and Children in Crisis.
-
Provided a Grant to the Douglas County Wings program to ensure that no
child who wanted to take the GED exam would be turned away for lack of
funds.

Provided a college scholarship (Young Women in Public Affairs) to
outstanding young women whose efforts to give to others, and with an
interest in future Public Service careers set them well apart from their
peers.
