The Donation
“Brothers: I am humbled and encouraged to see brothers so willing to get engaged with the Flint project. Aside from brother’s individually offering time to lend a hand, the chapter’s donation to the cause will make Saturday’s trip the largest and most successful to date. The Alpha Rho Lambda chapter and brothers have been critical to making this run happen. Thank you.
Friday, July 29, 2016 will be load day for the team. Care packages will be assembled and loaded into vans along with cases of water. Additionally, the bulk order of water will be loaded into the semi and transported to the warehouse, all in preparation for Saturday’s early morning departure.
The following items will be delivered on behalf of the Alpha Rho Lambda Chapter:
– 880 cases of 48- count water, totaling 22 pallets; 42,240 bottles– 250 care packages, containing:
- Paper plates
- Paper utensils
- Disinfectants
- Baby wipes
- Hand Sanitizers
”

The Impact and the Need
“The trip was a success! Everyone arrived and returned home safely. The first timers volunteers were able to interact with residents, which was mutually impactful. Unfortunately, the circumstances on the ground have not improved. We were the only group I saw providing water/ supplies of any kind; a stark contrast from January and March.
Special thanks to the following brothers for helping make this possible:
- Bro. Treasurer Fon Holloway and Bro. Financial Secretary Murvin Enders for making the purchase approval process so efficient.
- Bro. John Gore for coming in to volunteer Friday. He jumped right in and helped assemble care packages and load water for about 3 hours.
- Bro. Cecil Jones for sponsoring the vans to transport the supplies and volunteers.
- All Brothers who volunteered
”
– Brother Jaquan Yawn
Brothers, please take a moment to reflect on these numbers and their impact as service and advocacy for our communities (near and far) was on true display!

The brothers of Alpha Rho Lambda chapter would like to thank each and every one of you that have participated in our annual Mistletoe party over these last 10 years! Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to cancel this year’s function. So here’s a small video (below) just to reminisce on the Mistletoes of years’ past and to get you all excited for next year when we come back better than ever!
