Delta Lambda continues Thanksgiving tradition of service in Baltimore City
Brothers of the Delta Lambda Chapter in Baltimore City anchored two time-honored Thanksgiving traditions in Baltimore City in November, serving as hosts for an annual dinner prepared for residents of a women's shelter and as food preparation volunteers at a renowned family outreach center. Brothers acted as servers, clean-up staff, and greeters for Marian House residents on Nov. 20.
The annual event, which began in 2008 and was only interrupted by public health restrictions in 2020 and 2021, fed more than 125 women conquering homelessness, abuse, addiction, and other challenges. Two days later, the Brothers helped to collect and prepare food items for the annual 'Pans and Cans' event.
This event, coordinated by the National Pan Hellenic Council of Metropolitan Baltimore, supported an annual city tradition of older adults and other vulnerable residents with a 41-year history of impact.
