Zontians to collect donations for local non-profits
The Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva will host a Community Collection Day on Nov. 13 from 10 a.m. to noon in the parking lot at the Sanibel Congregational United Church of Christ.
It will feature a drive-thru drop-off option for those interested.
The event will benefit local non-profits with which the club has a service relationship and share Zonta’s mission of working to improve the lives of women and girls. Donations are tax deductible as permitted; club members will be on hand to issue tax receipts.
The community is asked to bring gently-used and new items for the non-profits.
