Last night, my chapter got together, armed with zillions of those free samples of shampoos, toothpastes, etc. and made baskets to donate to causes that need them.
My alum chapter is helping with a thing called "The Giving Tree." We chose several children's names and each one has specified what they want/need for Christmas...clothes, toys etc. This is fun because you know you are buying for a specific child.
My alum chapter of Alpha Gam is making bags of sugar free treats with little toys, coloring books and crayons for diabetic children in the hospital. Our philanthropy is Juvanile Diabeties (JDF).
