Members of the Alpha Beta Omega (ABO) Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) Sorority, Inc. provided lunch for staff at eight DePaul Community Health Centers (DCHC) locations on April 23.
The sorority’s gesture highlighted appreciation for frontline healthcare workers who serve the community during the on-going COVID-19 virus pandemic.
“The outpouring of support and appreciation for healthcare workers means a lot during this critical time, and speaks to the importance of our work,” said Michael G. Griffin, president/CEO of DCHC. “We thank the AKA Sorority for recognizing our staff by providing lunch Thursday. Continuing to assist and support each other bodes well for helping everyone overcome these challenging times.”
