Safety
Posters
During
the summer, Phi Alpha members distributed "See and
Save" posters to increase awareness of safety issues
related to swimming pools, and car seat safety for
children.

Donation Boxes
Phi
Alpha members collected school supplies via donation
boxes through the campus. Members spent a
Saturday outside a store asking people who were
entering the store to buy school supplies and donate
them. The collection amount was over $1000 of
supplies and an additional $600 in cash donations
used to purchase additional supplies. All of
these supplies were distributed to Communities in
Schools social workers for three schools in low
income areas to distribute to their clients who
could not afford to purchase their supplies.
This particular Phi Alpha chapter was rewarded with
the President's Volunteer Service Award by the
Community Partners and Local Child Welfare Board.
