Zonta celebrates relationship with Habitat
The Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva reported that its collaborative relationship with Habitat for Humanity of Lee and Hendry Counties goes back at least 10 years, when the club awarded its first grant in support of Habitat’s then-new Women Build program.
It raises funds for construction or rehabbing of homes for single mothers and their families.
Recently, several events continued to strengthen Zonta’s connection with the program, beginning with Habitat’s annual Women Build Kickoff party in March. It launched the 2025 program and honored a number of major contributors, including the club.
Every spring, Zonta provides a volunteer crew for one or more Women Build sites, where members engage in painting, flooring or whatever is the greatest need, as a home is readied for a new owner. In June, President Taryn Manning attended the dedication of a home in Cape Coral and had the honor of presenting a symbolic key to a new homeowner.
“We have seen through our partnership with Habitat and the Women Build program what can be accomplished with hard work and determination,” she said.
