We didn't have Philanthropy party when I was a collegiate, but I started helping a collegiate chapter this year and was very impressed with their dedication to philanthropy. For their party they made little candy bags to give to a children's shelter. They just put out colored Sharpies, small plastic bags and an assortment of candy. The girls decorated the bags, filled them with candy and tied them with curled ribbon. Very Cute! They've collected school supplies and clothes for this shelter in the past. Arthritis Research is our international philanthropy, but it's hard to do a project for that. Making items to help relieve pain in joints sounds great, but the reality is that you have no one to give these to for distribution. No one wants to do a philanthropy project then throw the product in the trash!
