Contact the blood center in your state and organize a drive on campus or at your church. Only 5 percent of all Americans who are eligible to donate do so, and the figures for Af-Ams who donate is even more discouraging. This is an outrage considering all the children/young adults with sickle cell anemia out there. This is one time we truly need to take care of our own.

Adopt a school or classroom and purchase their school supplies.

I know some schools require parents to purchase school supplies that the entire class uses, but for some parents that's a financial hardship.

If you do that, make it big and write a news release and send to your local news station. To a reporter/editor that handles community affairs. A could be their Good News story.

;) I'm taking notes...

Don't forget that there is a bunch of activites in your Z-Hope manual that you should consult as well! I don't have the manual handy, but you should incorporate all your service projects under the Z-Hope banner.

Thanks Soror!!!;)

try this one out....
 

For my organization, I plan on doing a cooking demonstration sponsored by the American Diabetes Association in my area. Check to see if your local affiliate can give you recipes so that you can do one on your own. Perhaps have each person donate food items or money to buy food, charge folks a fee to eat and cook the food. You can have literature or goody bags for people to take with them. You can do this for the holidays or during the Spring (lite cooking for the summer).

Here are some ideas from what my sorority did this year:
* We had a blood drive once each semester on campus
* We had a penny drive to raise money for the Pediatric AIDS Foundation
* We worked with Project Liberty Partnerships to tutor underpriviledged kids
* Had 2 car washes to raise money for the MS Society and the American Diabetes Association
