PHILANTHROPY & INVOLVEMENT

Philanthropic Focus

Alpha Gamma Delta’s philanthropic focus is Fighting Hunger. Food insecurity affects every race, age and community, including the communities where we are placed. That is why we want to be a part of the solution. Partnering with national and local organizations, we are able to make an impact on our communities. We are committed to contributing to the world’s work as our Purpose calls us to do. As a sisterhood, we work together to make a greater impact.

Our impact is enhanced through fundraising for the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation. They provide fighting hunger grants to various organizations that are doing their part in their local community to fight hunger.

Campus Involvement

At Tau Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta, we live out our Purpose, which includes the line, “To welcome the opportunity of contributing to the world’s work in the community where I am placed because of the joy of service thereby bestowed, and the talent of leadership multiplied.” This means that we are passionate about our philanthropic focus, Fighting Hunger! Every year, we host two events to raise money for the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation, which provides grants to local organizations who work to Fight Hunger. Every spring, we host our signature philanthropy event, Foods of the World, an all-you-can-eat event showcasing cuisine representing the cultural diversity of our members. We are proud to have raised $2,564 for the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation’s Fighting Hunger grant program in 2023-2024. In addition to fundraising, we provide many opportunities for our members to participate in community service. Monthly, we volunteer at Friday Food Ministry at St. Thomas Church, preparing and serving hot meals to people experiencing homelessness in our community. The second week of February is Alpha Gam’s annual Week of Service, where we hold daily service opportunities to give back to our communities. Philanthropy is something that our chapter values deeply. We were presented with the Outstanding Philanthropy award by the University of Toronto Panhellenic Association in Spring 2024.
