Vallejo Sorority and Fraternity Donate Turkeys for Needy Families for Thanksgiving
“Giving back to the community is the mission of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, said chapter president Sandra D. Stowes. “The turkey donations are an annual activity under our program (called) Target 3, which focuses on strengthening families in a variety of ways, including addressing nutrition, health, and financial wellness.”

Members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Kappa Beta Omega Chapter and Vallejo-Fairfield Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity donated and delivered more than 100 turkeys to several community-based organizations on November 6 to provide Thanksgiving meals for homeless residents and families in need during the holiday season.
“Giving back to the community is the mission of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, said chapter president Sandra D. Stowes. “The turkey donations are an annual activity under our program (called) Target 3, which focuses on strengthening families in a variety of ways, including addressing nutrition, health, and financial wellness.”
Sorority and fraternity members partnered with Walmart Neighborhood Market and arranged for the turkeys to be donated and delivered to Christian Help Center, First Baptist Church, Faith Food Fridays, and WothaDabora.
“We increase our impact in the community when we partner with our fellow Greek organizations like Alpha Kappa Alpha,” said Kappa Alpha Psi President Darren Stowes. “Together we can close the gap significantly and create healthier, stronger families and communities.”
The donations will help the community organizations serve Thanksgiving meals to more than 400 families.
“Our sorority members look forward to the turkey donations each year,” said Target 3 Chairman Lisa Freeman. “The event is a very rewarding opportunity for our chapter because we’re making a huge difference in the lives of many residents who might otherwise go without a nutritious meal on Thanksgiving.”
