Target III:

Family Strengthening

Alpha Kappa Alpha’s Family Strengthening Programs target critical issues
facing many families, including lack of food, shelter and financial means. Rho

Mu Omega has launched community based Childhood Hunger Initiative in
partnership with local agencies, food banks and community pantries. Rho Mu

Omega partnered with both the Backpack Project (serving the families of the

Cedar Heights community) and Bright Beginnings. Our Family Seasonal
Wraps℠ Program collects and donates hats, gloves, socks, scarves, coats,

sweaters and other seasonal wraps for families in need. Through Fiscal
Responsibility Programs we work with partner organizations and families to

help increase their understanding of budgeting, basic financial planning and
benefits of home ownership
