2025-2026 Initiative
All Alpha Chi chapters are invited to participate in this year's national service initiative. This year, Alpha Chi is partnering with No Child Hungry for a meal packing project that will feed hungry children in the Orlando area. Please review the information below and start planning how your chapter can support this effort!
Located just outside of Orlando, No Child Hungry has been serving the Orlando community, families across the United States, and even the international community where possible since 2012. From meal packing kits to bicycle builds, their creativity is endless when it comes to serving the community. Learn more about this great organization by visiting their website, and make sure to watch the video on this page to hear from the founder, William Lowry.
During the 2026 National Convention in Orlando, Florida, delegates will come together in service to package meal kits for hungry children in the area. All Alpha Chi chapters are invited to participate and raise funds for the meal kits.
How to Get Involved
There are multiple ways for your chapter to participate in this year's service initiative:
1. The most engaging way to participate will be to attend the convention and help package meals during the event. This is going to be a high-energy and competitive initiative, and we can't wait for everyone to participate.
2. While convention delegates will physically package the meals during the convention, your chapter does not need to be attending the national convention in order to participate in the service project. Any funds raised by Alpha Chi chapters will go directly to the meal packing effort and will increase the number of meals we can package at the convention. Meals only cost approximately $0.40 each, so anything your chapter can contribute will make a big difference to the Orlando community.
We don't think Alpha Chi chapters need encouragement to participate in service initiatives, but we're going to incentivize this initiative anyway because we want everyone to participate! The chapter that donates the most money to the initiative will receive a special certificate naming them the Alpha Chi Service Champions of 2026, and they'll receive recognition at the convention and on our website.
