Philanthropy

Service is at the heart of Maryland Alpha Xi Delta. As a chapter, we proudly support the Kindly Hearts Initiative, Alpha Xi Delta’s national philanthropy, which focuses on supporting children and teens experiencing foster care or homelessness. This past year, our sisters raised over $18,000 to support this important cause.Locally, we partner with Comfort Cases, an organization that provides backpacks filled with basic necessities to children entering the foster care system. Our members volunteer directly with Comfort Cases, helping pack backpacks with essentials to provide dignity and hope to children during difficult transitions.Each year, we host two major philanthropy events that bring our community together for a cause:Color Run 5K (Spring): A fun, high-energy race where participants run through vibrant color stations to celebrate supporting children in need.Hot Dog Frenxi: A campus-favorite fundraiser featuring unlimited hot dogs, live music, and thrift pop-ups—all benefiting our philanthropy efforts.Through these initiatives and hands-on service, our chapter is committed to making a lasting difference in our community while living out our values of compassion and leadership.
