Community Service

Uplifting the Community

Lambda Beta Omega, our esteemed graduate chapter, actively engages in various community events throughout the year, including the MLK Parade and Program, St. Landry Parish Love Fest, and Balloons and Toons. These engagements allow us to connect with our community on a deeper level, showcasing our commitment to service and solidarity. As we participate in these events, we remain steadfast in our dedication to our main targets: empowering our families, building economic wealth, enhancing our environment, advocating for social justice, and uplifting our local community.
