The Roanoke Rapids Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. is known for their generosity, so their latest act of community service should not come as a surprise.

At the end of July during the peak days of sweltering heat, members Odell Clanton, William Kearney, and Brian Giddiens donated and delivered 20 fans to the Warren County Senior Center in Warrenton, NC.

Although the hot summer days affect us all, the heat can lead to serious health concerns for our elderly community. Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

On site to receive the generous donation were Shawn Burton (Warren County Senior Center), Tyra Simes (Warren County Social Services), Alan Winstead (Kerr-Tar COG), and Crystal Smith (Interim County Manager).

This initiative was part of the fraternity’s ongoing efforts to support not only the Warren County community, but their philanthropic works span to Halifax and Northampton counties.

And their generosity is year-round. During the holiday season, the Kappa Alpha Psi members adopt a family in need for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Their most recent act of kindness will not only keep a nice breeze circulating through 20 households, but is also a potential lifesaver.

And we think that’s pretty cool.
