Service Project
Service Project – Emergency Preparedness Bags for Individuals and Families
The Zonta Club of Quaboag Valley will introduce a project to educate women/families about the importance of planning for an emergency evacuation that no one wants to think about. With the help of all clubs in the District – conference attendees will attempt to create 50 ’Go Bags” filled with a few important items and an educational pamphlet that provides insightful tips. Clubs will take home a few bags each as templates to use as appropriate in their communities.
Bags and printed educational pamphlets have already been donated. Each club is asked to collect items to include in the bags. To minimize the expense, the intent is to get donations of items (with or without logos) from local businesses and like-minded organizations, and ask students to help us collect/advertise for donations. All who contribute will be named as PARTNERS for this project..
CALL TO ACTION: We have template solicitation letter and an Amazon Wish List below to help jumpstart collections. Please reach out to your networks and bring items in person or have them sent prior to Conference start date. Be sure to send the names of contributors to info@zontadistric1.org so they can be recognized. WHEN YOU HAVE SECURED DONATIONS – PLEASE NOTIFY SECRETARY MARY KNIGHT. A MESSAGE WILL BE ADDED ON THIS PAGE TO AVOID DUPLICATIONS.
So far we have 50 Educational Pamphlets, 50 KN95 masks, 50 boxes of matches, 50 whistles, 50 8-oz hand sanitizer bottles, 50 can openers, 50 toothbrushes and toothpaste, 100 emergency blankets, 50 Bic lighters, 48 small first aid kits. 50 Fireproof document bags.
