Our Programs

The Omicron Eta Lambda Charitable Foundation is dedicated to uplifting our community through hands-on service, educational support, and meaningful outreach. Each year, we host programs that directly strengthen local families—from community clean-up days and health fairs to senior appreciation events and youth mentoring. We also invest in the next generation through scholarships that help high school students pursue higher education with confidence.

In addition to our local efforts, a portion of each donation also supports Alpha Phi Alpha’s nationally recognized initiatives that promote education, leadership, and civic engagement across the country. Together, your support helps strengthen our neighborhoods and advance meaningful service on both a local and national level.
