With the arrival of autumn, it’s time for a popular biannual event: Community Collection Day on Sanibel. The Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva invites Sanibel and Captiva residents to check closets, garages and other storage spaces and to bring gently-used or new household items and clothing to the entrance of the Sanibel Recreation Center, 3880 San-Cap Road, on Saturday, November 8, 10:00 a.m. to noon.
Zonta members will be on hand to help unload donations and will 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:
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
