This year, the items were donated to Piedmont Senior Resources, Prince Edward County Elementary School and Crossroads in Farmville.

The sorority also presented a financial donation to Piedmont Senior Resources’ #ShareTheLove campaign to give back to older adults in need in the Farmville area. The donation was given in support of the sorority’s Empower Our Families Initiative.
