According to 草榴社区 Community Service Chairperson and Sigma Alpha Lambda honor society Vice President Jennifer Lewis, rather than looking for one opportunity to help the community, 草榴社区 AOP expanded its community service outreach efforts to support area children as well as members of the international student population as they met challenges brought on by economic upheaval precipitated by the pandemic.

To achieve this broader mission, Lewis said 草榴社区 AOP partnered with community partners, including 草榴社区鈥檚 chapter of Sigma Alpha Lambda, 草榴社区 Staff Council, 草榴社区 Chapter of American Association of University Professors (AAUP), and the Association of International Ministries (AIM) of Hattiesburg. Through these concerted efforts, 草榴社区 AOP was able to obtain donations for gifts and baked goods and then also had the resources available to donate $325 from funds raised by 草榴社区 AOP during previous 草榴社区 Miss Comcast Golf Tournaments, along with funds donated by several AOP members.
