Phi Alpha Honor Society at SF State Wins Phi Alpha Chapter Grant Award

The Phi Alpha Honor Society at San Francisco State University wrote a grant to collaborate on a service project, building  and distributing community care-kits to unhoused individuals and communities within the Bay Area. Each community care-kit distributed will consist of food, personal hygiene items, and cold weather clothing items for unhoused individuals and communities.

The purpose of this service project is to provide basic needs resources to communities experiencing homelessness and poverty, and to create community amongst social work students at SF State. There has been a vast increase in the number of unhoused individuals throughout the Bay Area as a direct result of the Coronavirus pandemic. Phi Alpha Honor Society at SF State is interested in responding to this issue by making this contribution to communities in need of these basic resources.

Due to the outstanding nature of the proposal, our chapter won the Phi Alpha Service Chapter Award. The award of $1,000 will be given to our local Phi Alpha Chapter to make and distribute these care kits. The SF State MSW student Phi Alpha team consists of Sabrina Degnan, Erica Bush and Maira Clancy with field director Morty Diamond as the faculty advisor. 

Please join us in congratulating Sabrina, Erica, Maira, and Morty!
