The Delta Kappa Gamma Society- Beta Pi Chapter has provided holiday gifts to our clients for years. Their support means our clients have something special to open on Christmas day. This year, they brought bags of donations for our clients, which included winter clothing, toiletries, and snacks. Winter clothing is one of our biggest requests this time of year, and their gift bags meet this need and share love with our clients on Christmas.
"Delta Kappa Gamma International is a society of women educators. The goal is to promote education and success around the world. Our chapter, Beta Pi, has several outreach programs. This is our eighth year partnering with Norristown Hospitality Center. The Center's goal of empowering people fits right in with our philosophy.
In order to succeed, people need to feel some love and appreciation. Our group wants to help foster that feeling by providing gift bags/boxes for the Center's clients to open Christmas morning. Hopefully, the items in the gift bags fill some physical and emotional needs."
