Zeta
Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated Kappa Iota Zeta Chapter (KIZ) and the KIZ Stork's Nest
Committee, led by Soror Tara Lockett, held its first graduation and shopping
day for the participants in the inaugural Stork’s Nest class. The graduates were required to complete a
“Super Saturday” which included 8 educational modules and classes with
community partners such as Women, Infant and Children (WIC) Food and Nutrition Service
and Peach State Healthcare. The classes focused on the importance of prenatal care for
expectant mothers. In addition to completing the
“Super Saturday,” participants in the program received points by keeping their doctor’s
appointments and engaging in healthy behavior.
With these points, the graduates were able to
shop for newborn items in the Stork’s Nest Store.
Kappa Iota Zeta looks to
continue operating its Stork’s Nest Program in the
East Point area through its partnership with Zion Hill Community Development Corporation. Continuing to build
on the rich history started by Soror Evelyn Brown, who was the originator of
the Stork’s Nest program, KIZ will focus this year on growing its Stork’s Nest
Program.
