Fighting Hunger
The mission of Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation is to impact and enrich our communities by providing essential support for education, philanthropy and leadership. The Foundation's philanthropic focus is fighting hunger. We act on this mission by providing annual grants to other non-profit organizations throughout the United States and Canada to support their fight against hunger. The Omega Collegiate and Akron Area Alumnae Chapters volunteer locally at the Akron-Canton Foodbank and the Good Samaritan Hunger Center to fight food insecurity in our community.
