Blair's Foster Socks

In keeping with our motto of 'Sigma Serves Children', our spring philanthropy is Blair's Foster Socks.  Blair's family cared for foster children and Blair always wondered why the babies came to her family without socks.  Blair's plan to start an organization to collect socks for foster children stopped short when she was accidentally killed by a bullet shot into the air on the 4th of July, 2011.  In her memory, her family started the program.  Starting in 2012, KCAC collects new infant/small children's socks at spring meetings & Founders' Day for Blair's Socks. 

2015 - Barbara Smith Thompson, Nu, our Philanthropic Chairperson, delivered 293 pairs of socks and some added money to Blair's Foster Socks.  Thank you for all of your contributions.

Harvesters Community Food Bank

In January, Kansas City Alumnae Chapter volunteers at Harvesters, the local food bank.  We've sacked sweet potatoes, boxed apples and sorted contributions into the appropriate bins.  2019 will be our 9th year to volunteer.  We invite collegians from the area to join us in this project.  

Look at the Chapter Events page for the next time we will be volunteering.

March of Dimes - Military Baby Shower

To support the March of Dimes, our sisters throw a baby shower with baby shower games, eat baby shower cake, open baby shower gifts, and then donate it all to the Military Baby Shower organization. It is a wonderful way to contribute to our service members while celebrating our sisterhood.
