"Greater Service, Greater Progress"

[Knowledge1922]

Aside from Walks and Fundraising, What are some of the ongoing community efforts that sorors are involved with , either on a chapter or individual level?

We put the motto to work at a local shelter for homeless and poor women. My chapter serves lunch/dinner, does kitchen duty, has clothes drives, and contributes toiletries. We also raised over 500 dollars during the holiday season for the shelter (Rosie's Place.)

We serve there at least once a month and invite others to come out with us.

Well, for the past seven[7] years, I've been involved with the Northern California Sickle Cell Summer Camp. 98 percent of the kids[that come to camp] are Af-American and the rest are usually of Hispanic/Latino background. It's very emotional work which is one of the reasons why I hold such high esteem towards teachers.
