Altruistic Projects Altruistic Projects

Sisters Helping Sisters

We are planning a winter project to help the Capital Area Family Violence Intervention Center. They are in need of basic toiletries and also towels. We are going to fill like new Ipsy bags with sample size essentials such as toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, floss, small comb, etc. The bags are approximately 7.5 x 4 inches. We have about 40 bags that we can fill. The center will gladly take any extra supplies or full size items that won't fit into the bags, so if you prefer to donate full size items or if you can't find sample size items, full size will be fine.They are also in need of new bath towels. We will assemble the toiletry sets and place with a towel at the February 17th meeting. If you have any questions, call or text Stacey at 225-963-4394.

Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank

At every meeting, each sister is expected to wear her Alpha Delta Kappa badge. If you forget to wear it, you should donate at least $1.00 to the "pot", which will be donated to the food bank in addition to donations from members that will be collected in November and March.

OLOL Children's Hospital (UPDATED)

We raised $355 for the Children's Hospital by auctioning off decor, household items, and gift items donated by members at our Christmas party.
