Adopt a Family
We had an overwhelming amount of community participation with many families stepping up to help our families in need. We had 48 donors this year! We were able to get all our families adopted! We are extremely grateful for the community support!

Six Red Dresses
 #TheSixRedDresses Project  made stops around the Santa Clarita Valley for 16 days of activism. The six red dresses represent six women who have lost their lives in the Santa Clarita Valley due to domestic violence. This was a very powerful display and we would like to thank the Zonta Club of Santa Clarita Valley for organizing this project. #ZontaSaysNo to domestic violence in the Santa Clarita Valley. You can visit our Facebook page to see pictures of#TheSixRedDressesdisplayed throughout the SCV. To find out more about the project, click here.
