Operation Holiday Uplift

The Omicron Pi Chapter of Killeen, Texas has supported the surrounding community since it came into existence. Our holiday project for 2011 was to aid a local church, Bethesda Fellowship Ministries, in its Outreach Program.

Our aim was to assist families in low-income areas of the community by providing wholesome meals for these families during Thanksgiving and Christmas and by providing the financial resources to purchase toys for the needy children.

On November 18, 2011, our chapter presented a check in the amount of $1,800.00 to Bethesda Fellowship Ministries. Bishop Ronnie R. Gatewood, who is a member of the Chapter, accepted the check. A truck loaded with canned goods and other items to round out the meals was also provided. The total gifts would provide meals for, at least, seventy families and $1,260.00 worth of toys for the less fortunate children.

Our Vice-Basileus, Bro. Willie J. Miller, thanked Bishop Gatewood for the opportunity to partner with his church in their outreach effort. The brothers of Omicron Pi helped to exceed the goal of providing meals for fifty families.
