It’s a busy time of year for our local charities and in particular the local Zontarians who have contributed in multiple ways throughout our community over the past few months.
Pamper Packs have been lovingly created and sent to the Women’s Refuge through Whitsunday Counselling and Support.
“We do this every year,” said Marlene Reiffel from the Zonta Club of the Whitsundays.
“Zonta has assembled many gorgeous items that people would love to receive so they can be a little bit spoilt over the Christmas period.”
In addition, the large group of local Zontarians each brought a special present for a child to their annual Christmas lunch earlier this month.
They are distributed to children in the Whitsundays and Marlene says she hopes “the tradition of giving to children may also be picked up by other clubs in the area”.
Zonta also assembled three hampers that have been given to Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre’s ‘Adopt A Family’ appeal.
Not only is it important to give to those less fortunate at Christmas, Zonta believe it is also important to use this opportunity to raise awareness for their ‘NO to violence” campaign.
This is part of a worldwide initiative to stop violence and forms part of 16 days of activism to raise awareness of the issue.
Constantly engaging with the community and doing good wherever they can, the Zonta Club of the Whitsundays are tireless in their efforts.
