As 2025 comes to a close, the Zonta Club of St. Louis proudly reflects on a year of action, growth, and community impact—fulfilling our mission to build a better world for women and girls.
🤝This year, our members joined hands with incredible organizations to provide services and advocate for women’s empowerment, including: St. Louis Area Diaper Bank, Alleluia Baskets, The Women's Safe House, Rung for Women, Valeda's Hope, Gateway Alliance against Human Trafficking, The Salvation Army USA, and Grandma Hands.
🎓Empowering women and girls through education remains at the heart of Zonta’s mission as we recognize the value in investing in future leaders through scholarship and mentoring. We awarded scholarships and recognition such as: Zonta Young Women in Leadership Award, Zonta Women in STEM Award, Women's Another Chance Scholarship, and endowed scholarships at Saint Louis University, Washington University in St. Louis, Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing, and Maryville University of Saint Louis. 💛A very special thank you to our partner, Charity Clothing Pickup Corporate, Clothing Collection for a Cause for amplifying our impact!💛
🏆We’re honored to support vital St. Louis organizations through grant funding, including: Immigrant Home English Learning Program, Hope Ignites, Welcome Neighbor STL, Girls in the Know (GITK), St. Louis Public Library, and the Kathy J Weinman Shelter of St. Louis.
🎉This year, we also celebrated growth and milestones. We welcomed 4 new members, bringing us to 40 dedicated Zontians and celebrated member anniversaries spanning 5, 10, 15, 20, and an amazing 50 years of service! On November 13, 2025, we proudly commemorated our Club Centennial, launching the Centennial Scholarship—and with community and member support raised over $24,000 to support future leaders!
✨As we look ahead, we remain steadfast: empowering women, advocating for equality, and supporting the next generation. The Zonta Club of St. Louis is grateful for every member, partner, and supporter who shares this journey.
Here’s to another year of building a better world for women and girls—together!
