NJ Kappas supporting the Front Line in the
COVID 19 Fight
Several alumni chapters of Kappa Alpha Psi Incorporated are showing their support for the individuals on the front lines of the COVID 19 Fight and the businesses that are struggling to stay open. We will be providing meals to these local heroes with food purchased from local minority-owned businesses. Today, Maplewood Oranges alumni will be delivering sandwiches to the Orange Police Department, and Newark Alumni will be providing sandwiches to the Orange Fire Department.
Both chapters will be purchasing from Sandwiches Unlimited in Orange, which is a community staple. Also engaged in the effort are the Trenton Alumni chapter who will be donating food to St. Francis Hospital and Capital Health Hospital-Hopewell, Plainfield Alumni who will be donating food to Rahway Hospital, and Montclair Alumni who will be donating food to Clara Mass.
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity is a predominately Black Greek Letter service organization founded in 1911. We pride ourselves on being engaged in the urban communities from whence most of came. Throughout the year, through our social action programs we assist in a wide range of projects including voter registration drives, school reading programs, scholarship presentations, thanksgiving food giveaways, toy drives, and the list goes on. Each alumni chapter boasts a Guide Right program through which we mentor to young men in the community; guiding them from junior high school right into college. The Guide Right program for Maplewood Oranges Alumni is located at Orange High School and boasts eight graduating seniors who will all be attending college in the fall.
