The Zonta Foundation of Southwest Florida has awarded a $10,375 grant to Southwest Florida Addiction Services (SWFAS) to provide educational needs for women recovering from substance abuse at SWFAS' Transitional Living Center on Dixie Parkway in Fort Myers.



The money will be used to help about 20 women pursue an education by providing tuition, educational materials, books and transportation. About $2,000 of the grant will be used to purchase a new computer and software to enable the women to complete coursework and file job applications.



Some of the funds also will be used to train staff in "Seeking Safety," a curriculum designed to educate staff in dealing with untreated trauma that frequently exists among women with addictions.



The overall goal is to help women in recovery obtain the skills they need to earn a living wage and become self-sufficient in the workplace.



"While at SWFAS' Transitional Living Center, the women work very hard at learning skills for the job of living in sobriety, this grant will help them build on their newfound skills and give them something more to enhance their chances of maintaining their sobriety and self-sufficiency," Boisvert said. They also give of themselves."



Zonta has been a partner with the women in the SWFAS Transitional Living Center since 2000 and has provided grants totaling $56,824 to support the needs of women recovering from substance abuse.



SWFAS opened the 16-bed women's halfway house at the SWFAS Transitional Living Center in 2009. The women's facility provides treatment for 40 to 50 women per year who have completed the residential treatment program and moved into the halfway house for extended treatment.



SWFAS is the most comprehensive substance abuse treatment and prevention program in Southwest Florida, serving 6,000 people per year from ages 9 to 90.

The Coweta Community Foundation is doing its part to remember local servicemen this Memorial Day weekend by awarding the Coweta Commission on Veterans Affairs a grant to cover costs associated with honoring more than 20 Coweta servicemen who were killed in the Vietnam War.

The $1,000 grant will also help fund the costs of displaying the "Wall That Heals" at the Coweta County Fairgrounds this year. The Coweta Community Foundation has voted to commit $6,800 in grants to local arts organizations and community groups, including the Community Welcome House, Masterworks Chorale and Bridging the Gap.

"The Coweta Community Foundation had a very successful response to its recent spring grant campaign," said board member Connie Singleton.

In February the CCF invited non-profit organizations doing community service in Coweta County -- and supporting such goals as education, the arts, helping the needy or health-related efforts -- to apply for financial help, not to exceed $1,000.

Some of the organizations which have received CCF grants in the past include Angel House, Brewton-Parker College, Carnegie Foundation, the Coweta County Centre for Performing and Visual Arts, Coweta Food Pantry, Coweta County Training Center, Juvenile Diabetes Research Association, the Newnan Boys & Girls' Club, One Roof Ecumenical Alliance Outreach, Prevent Child Abuse Coweta, as well as various programs within the Coweta County Schools.
