Our alumnae chapter collects "things" for a local women's domestic shelter. You can get lists of needed items from the shelter itself. Ours always needs lots of diapers, formula, baby wipes, etc. They also collect old cell phones to program for 911 for women when they leave the shelter. We each brought a pack of diapers to our first several meetings and completely filled up their diaper closet!
My Cub Scouts go every year to a community wide Metro Park clean up. We are assigned an area, given bags and gloves and pick up as much trash as we can in the allotted time. You could check with local national/state/area parks to see if they organize something similar. All kinds of different organizations are at the Metro Park clean up that we do. I was thinking of telling one of the more local collegiate chapters about it next year. It would be fun to see them all out there in letters. At this particular park, they give you lunch and a free pass to the wave pool there for helping out!
Race for the Cure occurs in all metro areas and is for a cause that is important to all women. You could encourage all the alumnae in the area to come out for that, wearing letters, and invite the area collegiate chapters too!
