Hundreds of sorority sisters gathered in Springfield, Massachusetts, for their regional conference — and gave a big boost to local children in foster care. Members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority assembled and donated over 150 care bags, each packed with clothes and essential toiletries and valued at over $50.
The effort is part of the sorority’s national initiative, AKA Foster the Future: From Here to Hope, which launched in July. And the impact has been impressive: members across the North Atlantic region have already distributed nearly 2,800 care bags, helping foster children with everyday necessities while offering a little extra comfort and support.
