  • Community Service: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year to Show Our Love for Others Greene County Alumnae Chapter Members host annual Adopt-A-Family in Greene and Hale Counties

    EUTAW, AL — The Greene County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated has consistently served Greene and Hale Counties since 1978. Our legacy of service has operated in this community for over 46 years.

    The Greene County Alumnae Chapter, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated kicked off its 45th Annual Christmas Adopt-a-Family Project 2024 in early November. Members were encouraged to take advantage of Black Friday and other seasonal sales.

    “During this most wonderful time of the year, we show our love for others by giving from the joy of our heart to help those in need” said Phillis Belcher, Chapter President. The chapter has adopted children through Department of Human Resources of Greene and Hale Counties to provide a little bit of Christmas Cheer. Families are recommended by the Department of Human Resources for each county. The chapter requested at least five children per family. Gifts were presented in festive holiday wrappings no later than the middle of December.
    Committee Chairperson, Jacqueline Allen stated, “We want to make this holiday season as memorable as in previous years for the adopted children.” This year a special treat was provided to each child that was adopted, a $25 gift card. This empowered each child to make a purchase of their own choosing for either themselves or someone else. The Adopt-a-Family Committee is chaired by Jacqueline Allen and Marva Smith serves as Co-Chair.
