Kauai Garden Island News
The Garden Island newspaper and the Zonta Club of Kauai are again teaming up this year, and asking the community to help make the holidays happier for less-fortunate residents through the Zonta /The Garden Island Christmas Fund.
From now through Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, TGI will share stories of families who could use a little holiday cheer along with an appeal for monetary donations of any size. The names have been changed to protect their privacy. Funds raised will be distributed to needy families by Zonta Club members, who purchase gift certificates at appropriate businesses to help make these simple wishes come true.
Because of logistical
limitations, only monetary donations can be accepted. Gift certificates and used or new items, while appreciated, should not be submitted.
Gabriel needs warm clothes and shoes
Gabriel became homeless a few years ago. He was injured on the job and has not been able to return to work. Gabriel has gotten HUD rental assistance and has found permanent housing. His fixed monthly income does not allow for much. Gabriel could use some warm clothing, shoes and bus passes to get to his medical appointments and to shop for food and supplies. (ke42)
• Checks should be written to Zonta Club of Kauai Foundation 501c3. Donations are tax-deductible, and should be mailed to Zonta Club of Kauai Foundation, c/o Dimples Kano, P.O. Box 1120, Kapa‘a HI 96746. For more information, contact Kano at 822-9882.
