Two Stores, Twice the Giving
On Saturday, August 5, 2023, Communities In Schools (CIS-SA) and Omega Psi Phi Volunteers invited H-E-B customers to join the cause and donate supplies as part of their shopping experience.
From 9-5 at two HEB locations (Kitty Hawk and Alamo Ranch) in the Alamo City, the Brothers of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated, Psi Alpha Chapter, who have been involved in this worthwhile endeavor since 2007 rolled up their sleeves to ensure that local youths in the area would not go without school supplies for the year. Team Omega raised $14,215.67 for San Antonio students supported by Communities in Schools. This amount equates to two school buses completely stocked, which would service seven campuses with enough supplies for every student.
