Glenmary Home Missoners
Glenmary Home Missioners (also known as The Home Missioners of America Inc.) is a Roman Catholic religious institute of priests and brothers that work with lay coworkers to serve the spiritual and material needs of people in rural parts of the United States. Glenmary was founded in 1939 as a society of apostolic life.
Theta Phi Alpha offers various donations of clothes and shows for women and children apart of the institute.
The House That Theta Phi Alpha Built
Theta Phi Alpha adopted the philanthropic cause of providing shelter in an effort to reduce homelessness in 1993, under the title The House that Theta Phi Alpha Built. The intention of the program is for our sisters in Theta Phi Alpha to work towards providing shelter for those who need it, as well as making life easier for people without homes. Uniting for The House that Theta Phi Alpha Built, we offer chapters, associations, and individuals an opportunity to select a charitable organization that meets their organizational needs.
Camp Friendship
Camp Friendship is a summer camp for children living in rural Mississippi, whose cases are managed by the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services. Many of the children who participate a one-week session at Camp Friendship live in poverty. Some have behavioral disorders. Camp provides time for these children to have consistency: three meals per day, firm support, and the opportunity to just relax and have fun.
Theta Phi Alpha donates various camp necessities, such as backpacks, flip flops, swimsuits, etc.
