Chicago's 2026 Most Eligible Bachelorette Donates To Zelda's Kitchen Witches

LEMONT, IL — Krysta Privoznik, who was born and raised in Lemont, recently earned the 2026 title of "Most Eligible Bachelorette of Chicago," and donated $1,000 to a Palos Heights charity that supports women impacted by homelessness and domestic violence.

Recently, Privoznik earned the 2026 title of "Most Eligible Bachelorette of Chicago" by participating in an annual competition produced by Most Eligible LLC to spotlight Chicagoland's most ambitious and inspiring singles, according to a news release.

Krysta is a survivor of domestic violence herself, and shares her own story with community groups to better educate others, inspire hope and raise awareness for organizations dedicated to supporting women whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence, a news release shares.

As the competition winner, Privoznik chose to donate her $1,000 prize to Zelda’s Kitchen Witches, a news release shares.

Rather than keeping her winnings, she presented the donation to the organization's Board of Directors at a recent board meeting.

“I never questioned where the money would go,” Privoznik said in a news release. “Domestic violence is a cause that touches me personally, and Zelda’s Kitchen Witches was the first organization to help me turn my voice into something that could encourage and empower other women. Supporting their mission was an easy decision. Their work has already helped more than 300 women and their children rebuild their lives, and I hope this gift allows them to reach even more families.”

Zelda’s Kitchen Witches provides new kitchen items to women and their children who are homeless and survivors of domestic violence and moving into new housing, the organization shared.

“We know how crucial it is to support these women as they start new lives,” said Janet Evans, a Palos Heights resident and founder/president of the growing non-profit group. “Partnering with other local non-profits, we’ve been able to identify these women who, in turn, are so grateful for our help.”
