Alpha Delta Kappa-VA THETA Chapter

On this first Friday of summer break, Roanoke City teachers and Theta sisters Belinda English and Latasha Suggs volunteered at The Least of These. 💚💛💜

Interested in a volunteer shift? Latasha would be glad to help you get plugged in. Please also consider helping with TLOT's Community Hydration Initiative. Can you imagine NOT being able to enjoy a glass of water whenever you wanted? Our unsheltered friends face this daily and with these recent temperatures, this can pose a serious health risk. See the information below for more details.
************************
This summer, The Least of These is launching a Community Hydration Initiative to provide reliable water access, reusable bottles, and heat relief to unsheltered individuals across our city.

If YOU want to make a real difference, here are some ways you can help:

Donate cases of bottled water and/or reusable water bottles to our sustaining station!

Volunteer for distribution days!

Sponsor a hydration station outside your place of business.

One small act can save a life in this extreme heat!

Our mission is to distribute 3,000 bottles of water this summer and expand safe water access for people experiencing homelessness.

Send us a message for more information or visit our donation link to assist with the purchase of water and supplies: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=T44SNHB7U5CHW.

Together, we can bring relief, dignity, and hope—one bottle of water at a time.

Theta members met on Tuesday, June 9th, to make program plans for the 2026-27 year. Members now look forward to a variety of informative and fun programs. All Theta sisters assist with the implementation of its programs and activities.

Congratulations to Theta's new officers who were installed on Tuesday May 12th at the lovely Train Station venue, with Cardinal DP Amy Ebel presenting the ceremony. Virginia State President Sally Miller was also in attendance.
