Local Projects & Initiatives
Breast Care Cushions
One of our most valued community projects is the creation and donation of Breast Care Cushions for women and men recovering from mastectomy and breast surgery.
Handmade by members of Zonta Club of Northside, these specially designed cushions provide comfort and support during the recovery process. Placed under the arm or against sensitive areas, they can help reduce discomfort, protect surgical sites and make everyday activities a little easier during healing.
This project is a practical way for our members to provide care, compassion and encouragement to those facing a challenging time in their lives.
Over the past year alone, our club proudly made and donated more than 700 Breast Care Cushions to local hospitals and healthcare providers, helping support patients throughout our community.
Birthing Kits
Each year, members of Zonta Club of Northside and our Friends of Zonta come together to assemble Birthing Kits that help support safer childbirth in some of the world’s most under-resourced communities.
Packed into a small biodegradable bag are six essential items: soap, gloves, plastic sheeting, cord ties, a sterile scalpel blade and gauze. While simple, these items can play a vital role in helping prevent infection and improving outcomes for mothers and newborn babies during childbirth.
This hands-on project allows our members to make a tangible difference beyond our local community while supporting women and families around the world.
By working together to assemble these kits, we help provide dignity, safety and hope where access to basic medical supplies may be limited.
