Alpha Xi Delta’s Philanthropic Focus

 

 

 

 

 

The Kindly Hearts Initiative

The Kindly Hearts Initiative serves as the umbrella to our national philanthropic focus of supporting children and teens experiencing foster care or homelessness. Alpha Xi Deltas across the country support two Key Impact Organizations, FosterClub and StandUp for Kids, making a national and regional difference under the umbrella of our focus.

Letters of Love

All Alpha Xi Delta chapters and alumnae associations participate in Letters of Love, Alpha Xi Delta’s national letter writing fundraising campaign. Held annually during the month of November this campaign benefits Alpha Xi Delta’s two Key Impact Organizations, StandUp for Kids and FosterClub.

 

Our Chapter's Impact:

 

 

The Iota Omega Chapter's local philanthropy is HomeFront! HomeFront focuses on community service and is an organization that provides different forms of support for families facing homelessness in the Central Jersey area. This philanthropy brings us exciting opportunities and experiences.

"HomeFront’s mission is to end homelessness in Central New Jersey by harnessing the caring, resources and expertise of the community. We lessen the immediate pain of homelessness and help families become self-sufficient. We work to give our clients the skills and opportunities to ensure adequate incomes, and we work to increase the availability of adequate, affordable housing. We help homeless families advocate for themselves individually and collectively." - HomeFront's Mission Statement

 

Additional Philanthropic Events

To support HomeFront over the school year, we host a yoga event and our Alpha Xi-Fa Soccer Tournament in the Fall semester. We also volunteer at HomeFront's annual Halloween Walk and donate holiday gifts during our Snowflake Buddy Box fundraiser. In the Spring semester, we host a cookie sale for Valentine's Day; a Chick-fil-A sandwich sale in March; our annual Pasta Dinner, Xi-Ti with the Xi's, in April; and a Finals Xi-Stress week with different relaxing activities during the last week of classes.
