An Illinois fraternity’s philanthropic efforts included handing out a whole lot of Turkeys.
On Saturday morning, an Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity chapter teamed up with Meridian Health, Riverfront Museum Park, HealthChoice Illinois, and State Representative Maurice West to hand out over 200 turkeys for free at Riverfront Museum Park.
West made a Facebook post about the achievement that included several photos of the giveaway. In the post’s caption, West wrote, “Car after car, I saw neighbors smiling, waving and wishing each other a happy holiday. That’s who we are. That’s Rockford.”
He also added in a press release that the entire process took about an hour, which means that more than three turkeys were handed out per minute.
It’s unclear exactly which Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity chapter showed up to Saturday’s event. It would likely be the Mu Alpha Lambda Chapter from nearby Northern Illinois University, as they have a long history of serving the Rockford community.
West is also a former Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity member, which would suggest that he had a direct role in getting this chapter involved in Saturday’s turkey giveaway.
It’s always refreshing to see a fraternity make headlines for its philanthropic efforts. Fraternities can often attract attention for the wrong reasons, with negative stories sometimes overshadowing the good they do in their communities that doesn’t always receive the same coverage.
But Saturday’s turkey giveaway offered a reminder that these organizations can also make a meaningful difference in their communities.
