On Saturday, December 12th, the chapter took to the aisles of Target in Columbia Heights to fill the needs of a Southeast DC family being helped for Christmas through "A Wider Circle". 10 brothers and the Delt Queen spent more than $500 to get everything from clothes to toys to everyday supplies for the Eaton family (a single mother with 4 young girls). All donations were much appreciated and everything went very well! A huge thanks to all those that contributed and we look forward to doing this again next year!
