MEMPHIS, Tenn. (localmemphis.com)- aturday, dozens of people gathered to get some much needed holiday pampering in Whitehaven.
The Alpha Delta Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc hosted the Whitehaven Community Day of Service at the corner of Barton Drive and Raines Road.
The event included free food, giveaways, and vendors offering everything from spiritual rejuvenation to health massages.
“It’s important because they need to know that in our own community we have our own resource that they need they don’t have to go across town or go to other areas,” said Anthony Sledge, President of the Alpha Delta Lambda Chapter. “I’m not saying they don’t have the same kinds of services, we want them to know that right here in this community we’re invested we have what we need and the people who are very able to do the job.”
This was the first year for the event but organizers say they hope to bring it back annually.
