One of our yearly projects is called 'Bags of Love'. Members donate items and the club also purchases toiletries, hand creams etc and put in hand bags. The club put together 18 handbags this year on the 1st December we presented them to the Mt Barker Salvation Army to distribute to ladies.
For two years, our Zonta members decided to forgo their individual end of year Kris Kringle gifts, and use the money to purchase personal and feminine hygienic products that we could then donate to women who were less fortunate than most of us.
Members were very generous with their donations, and we were able to assemble 16 Bags of Love each year – using bags that had been donated by the Mylor CFS Op Shop, which were excess to their needs. These bags were then given out to women at a luncheon organised by a local church, to help make their Christmas a little happier.
This year, rather than again ask members to provide all of the products we needed to complete the bags, we have applied to the membership for funds required to help purchase these products. However, so that we can still donate our Kris Kringle alternative, members will be asked to donate something a little special – ie hand cream, perfume etc., for the bags of love.
