Mahalo for a successful 2019 Christmas Fund Drive!
The Zonta Club of Kaua'i Foundation thanks everyone that generously donated to our Christmas Fund!
For more than 25 years, Zonta Club of Kaua'i and the Garden Island Newspaper (TGI) have teamed up to raise funds for people in our community who are in need of support. This year, we received $30,570 in donations which includes the $5,000 donor match through the Hawai'i Community Foundation. With the help of nine agencies providing us with their stories of families and individuals that could use our help this holiday season, we were able to provide 749 keiki and kupuna with a brighter Christmas, all through the support of our community and friends of Kaua'i. Mahalo to all who so generously gave to this effort.
Pictured are Zonta members with representatives from the agencies who recently received Christmas Fund donations from the Zonta Club of Kaua'i Foundation. They are: Child & Family Services, Department of Health Developmental Disability, Easter Seals of Kaua'i, Adult Day Health Center, Kaua'i Agency on Elderly Affairs, Kaua'i Economic Opportunity, YWCA of Kaua'i.
