Adopt a Family

Each Christmas the Zonta Club of Fredericksburg donates money to the 

Hill Country Needs Council, which selects several needy families to receive food

and gifts at Christmas. Our sponsored Girl Scout Unit goes out to purchase, wrap

and deliver the food and gifts.

Schatze House

Proceeds from Schatze Haus Resale Boutique benefits Grace Center. You'll find lots of treasures like women's, men's and children's clothing, furniture, art, books and more. Located at 712 W Main St, Suite B in Fredericksburg, next to the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post.  Volunteers are needed to work the sales counter, help price and sort donated goods, and

of course be an ambassador to greet customers.

Grace Center

Throughout the year the Zonta Club of Fredericksburg collects clothing toiletries,

etc., for the Grace Center of Fredericksburg.   Because of our generous donation,

we are excited that the Sun Porch will be named in our honor at their new location.

Literacy - The Dolly Parton Imagination Library

I                                                 In 1995, Dolly Parton launched an exciting new effort, Dolly Parton’s 

                                                  Imagination Library, to benefit the children of her home county in  East 

                                                  Tennessee, USA. Dolly’s vision was to foster a love of reading among her

                                                  county’s preschool children and their families. The new program gave each 

                                                  child a specially selected book each month. By mailing high quality, age 

                                                  appropriate books directly to their homes, Dolly wanted children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, she could ensure that every child would 

have books, regardless of their family’s income.

Girl Scouts
During the school year, the Zonta Club of Fredericksburg sponsors the Fredericksburg

and surrounding areas Girl Scout Unit where we act as Unit Leaders, Troop Leaders,

attend meetings and providing support as needed.

​                                                 Meals on Wheels

                             The Golden Hub’s Meals on Wheels (MOW) program delivers over a hundred

                                            meals per day (nearly 2400 meals each month!) to the homebound and/or disabled

                                            seniors in the Gillespie County. Deliveries are 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year.

Days For Girls in Africa

“Days For Girls” organization, founded in 2008 by Executive Director Celeste Mergen,

was able to open our eyes to their vision for every girl and woman in the world to

dispersing Days for Girls Kits is to create a more dignified, humane and sustainable

world for girls through advocacy, reproductive health awareness, education and
