Eta Eta Lambda Chapter Commemorates MLK with Day of Service

On January 19, 2023, the Eta Eta Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day through a dedicated Day of Service. This event brought together brothers and community members who collectively aimed to honor Dr. King's legacy by serving those in need. Participants gathered to prepare and distribute warm meals, snacks, socks, and hand warmers to individuals experiencing homelessness in the local area.

The purpose of this service initiative was not only to provide immediate relief to those facing hardships but also to embody the fraternity’s mission of service above self. By aligning this event with the principles championed by Dr. King, the chapter reinforced its commitment to social justice and community upliftment, fostering a spirit of brotherhood and compassion.

Throughout the day, numerous individuals benefited from the generosity and dedication of the brothers. The chapter was able to distribute essential items that provided warmth and comfort to those who needed it most. Additionally, all remaining items were donated to the Lighthouse Shelter, ensuring that even more residents would receive support during these challenging times.

Reflecting on the event, the collective effort of the brothers showcased the strength of their commitment to community service and the values of Alpha Phi Alpha. This Day of Service not only honored Dr. King's legacy but also strengthened the ongoing initiatives of the chapter in supporting those in need.
