National Service Week #SAONationalServiceWeek

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. - Isaiah 1:17
National Service Week is a chapter-wide event that Sigma Alpha Omega participates in every year. The goal of this week is for your chapter to participate in activities of service in your community and campuses along with your other sisters all across the country.

National Service week will take place during the 2nd week of February every year. Our chapters are required to complete:

-1 Week-long Service Event

-5 Daily service projects (one per day)

-1 National Service Week Participation Sheet

There are a variety of creative and practical ways to serve your campuses and communities but this year we have some unique ideas! If you have an idea to share, please email vicepresident@sigmaalphaomega.org or your local chapter.

UNIQUE SERVICE IDEAS

Blessing Bags: Fill a plastic zip-lock bag with small items from the travel section at Wal-mart. Portable deodorants, mini toothpastes, dental floss, mini-shampoos etc. Stick in some food, (crackers, granola bars, things you can buy in bulk) and you’re done with your Blessing Bag! Hand them out at a service event or to homeless. Keep a few around with you in your car throughout the year and bless people as you see them!

Hospital Survivor Kits: Head over to a local Maternity Ward, and pass out Hospital Survior kits to new moms! (Call ahead first to check if your hospital will allow this donation!) Include hairties, chocolate, lip balm, anything that might make their hospital stay a little nicer!

Book Drive: Collect gently used books, Cd’s DVD and donate them schools, children’s hospitals, or family shelters

Brighten a Mood as you Brighten a Room: Decorate a hospital floor and patient rooms for the holiday! Make Valentines day about the love you have for your brothers and sisters in Christ and for God’s children and love someone by making their day a little brighter!

Lending a Helping Hand: Have each member of your chapter vow to do a random-act-of-kindness to three neighbors of theirs over the course of a week! Offer to shovel driveways, give a coffee to a studying student, bake a batch of cookies. Give a knock and you’ll be surprised how God will use you to serve!
