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 Alpha Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta is proud to be working on the Kindley Hearts Campaign! Throughout this next academic year are sisters will be focusing on helping people, businesses, and families recover from the intense impact COVID-19 has had. Our chapter has decided to focus our aid on helping people who have been experiencing food insecurity as a result of the pandemic. 

Prior to the pandemic, 35 million people were suffering from not having proper access to enough food for every person in a household to live a healthy lifestyle. Studies have shown that number increased by nearly 10 million, resulting in 45 million people suffering from food insecurity in 2020. Our chapter is located near areas that are suffering greatly from this issue, this gives our sisters the ability to make a more important impact. 

Through volunteering at Food Relief Kitchens, to raising money virtually our Philanthropy team and all of our sisters are working hard to find ways to help all people suffering as a result of COVID-19. This pandemic has impacted and continues to impact everyone greatly and we at Iota Alpha believe that together we can work to get through these difficult times.
