💜 A Lasting Symbol of Hope in Our Community 💜
On Friday evening, the Zonta Club of Chatham-Kent was proud to unveil our Purple Bench at Grand West Homeopathy.
This beautiful bench, inscribed with "Zonta Club of Chatham-Kent," is part of the global Purple Bench Project (Barb's Bench), which honours victims of domestic and family violence while raising awareness and encouraging conversations that can help create safer communities.
For more than 75 years, the Zonta Club of Chatham-Kent has been dedicated to building a better world for women and girls. We hope this Purple Bench serves as a visible reminder that no one should face violence alone and that support, hope, and compassion exist within our community.
A heartfelt thank you to our club member Brigitte Davis for generously providing a permanent home for the bench at Grand West Homeopathy, in a highly visible location across from the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance hospital campus. We are also grateful to Fabmaster Welding of Ridgetown for manufacturing and installing the bench with exceptional craftsmanship.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the unveiling and to all who continue to support our mission of building a safer, more equitable future for women and girls.
💜 Together, we can raise awareness, inspire change, and build a community where everyone can live free from violence.
