The Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva is hosting its popular biannual fall event, Community Collection Day, from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 8, at the Sanibel Recreation Center, 3880 San-Cap Rd.
It’s a chance to check closets, garages, and other storage spaces and bring gently-used or new household items and clothing for donation. Zonta members will help unload the donations and distribute them to local non-profits working to improve the lives of women and girls.
Since donations are tax-deductible per IRS rules, Zontians will also issue tax receipts. Cash or donations by check (to Zonta Foundation of Southwest Florida) are also accepted.
Following is a partial list of items requested by the organizations:
• After the Rain: Paper towels, bathroom cleaner, bath tissue, bleach, laundry detergent, dish detergent, sponges
• Dress for Success: Professional separates (especially plus size) and gently used shoes (size 9 or higher), purses and jewelry; casual denims; button-up shirts; new (with tags) underwear and bras Healing Stitches (formerly OILE): Scissors, yarn, and Poly-fil
• Our Mother’s Home: Towels and washcloths; children’s books and board games, arts and crafts items
• Trailways Camp: School supplies and small toys
